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.
Which was 5:1.
Oh.
Back to comcast standard. 15:5.
Again.
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.
And a guy I was really wanting to play with died during the Internet downtime.
So that was fun.
You signed up for a different package.
We didn't get what we paid for.
