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 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.

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.

and even then im not going to take an anecdotal experience when I don't have all the necessary info to just change positions when there is a lot of data on the position im currently on

Then again here's the weird thing.

When we paid for the standard 15:5.

We actually got closer to 27:10.
