i know vro

GEP what was that

I'm a little behind on the times. Wasn't aware they pushed the FTC as the replacement for net neutrality.

what are u saying vro

It was never pushed

it always existed.

FTC is the federal trade commission

I may have cited the wrong organization...

They've been doing a really shit job of it then.

are u kekkin'?

The warranty stickers thing was a great step in the right direction but their handling of ISPs has been shit at best.

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.

calm down @RyeNorth lol

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.

I'd like to see what was going on there

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.
