uhhhm no
they're doing fine
Yeah. Artificial speed limits when there's no issues with throughput are totally great for the end consumer.
dude you are living in fantasy land
I can understand slowdown if there's huge amounts of data going all at the same time.
go read a huffpost article
5000ms and sub 1mb up/down because you weren't paying enough at the time.
And 20 or 30 phone calls doing nothing.
that is false
That ain't right.
I'm speaking from personal experience.
:okliberal:
Few years back on comcast. Parents stopped paying for the good service and went for the basic 5:1 service.
OH. JEEZE. IT JUST GOT REALLY ADHOM IN HERE.
Ain't that the fucking truth.
But yeah. They paid for the basic service. It was still comcast and it should've been 5:1.
So we got 0.1:0.01 instead.
It was a great time. Couldn't do anything. A basic 5mb torrent took two weeks to finish.
Comcast is a whole 'nother animal.
Comcast is just another ISP.
Well again.
It was only while we were paying for basic service.
Comcast is ~~just another~~ The Only ISP.
My mother eventually gave up because I kept complaining and the moment she switched services it went right back to being totally perfect with pings below 10ms.
Just flipped a switch.
We didn't even change modems.
We didn't change any hardware at all, come to think of it.
Just instantly, back to full speed.
I don't doubt it.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Comcast is just widely regarded as being terrible.
But it's almost like the free market system worked.
All the major American ISPs are terrible save for Google and Verizon fiber.
at least, for you.
Not.. really?
It kind of did.
I'd have to actually look at things like contracts etc.
You had shitty service with one company
and you switched to another.
