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.
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.
But when we paid for 5:1, we got 0.1:0.01.
First off, comcast is comcastic. But second off, You switched to a lower package. ISPs were doing that even under Net Neutrality.
