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.
Now
..No I didn't.
Again.
if only we could open the market
I thought you said you switched service.
We went from comcast standard, which was like, 15 down 5 up.
To comcast basic.
Oh.
Back to comcast standard. 15:5.
Again.
We didn't change anything.
We made a phone call.
How many devices sharing that connection?
The Internet went from beyond shittastic to normal within 5 minutes.
okay there must be an explanation lol
Nothing in the network changed.
I think at the time it was 4 devices in total.
Two desktops, two laptops.
mmhmm...
And a couple of other intermittent devices that went on and off as needed.
so, about 1.25 down, .25 up effectively.
Yeah.
Like I said.
That was basic math.
When I was on "basic" what we actually got was over 8 seconds of ping and a 5mb torrent took 2 weeks to finish.
I only remember this stuff so well because I couldn't even go online in games with friends.
But once again, what you're describing there isn't a net neutrality issue.
