World internet speeds
And in banks across the world
Christians, Moslems, Hindus, Jews
And every other race, creed, colour, tint or hue
Get down on their knees and pray
The raccoon and the groundhog neatly
Make up bags of change
But the monkey in the corner
Well he's slowly drifting out of range

World internet speeds
Spectrum rolled out a frequency shift, the vendor botched some of it, and my surge protector didn’t like the new frequency band, so was severely limiting throughput.
Problem resolved for now.

It's almost as if people are the problem.

Re: World internet speeds
Both my car ins and internet jumped up this month. Not huge but every little bit adds up for me. It went up nearly $20. I called but theres no promotions for me. So I told them to drop my speed from 600 to 300 and save $10. Bah. They said check back there might be a deal next month ya never know. In fact its usually raise my speed back up and save more than this lol. Stupid system.

Re: World internet speeds
I lucked out tonight. Im really drunk. Im slurring my words even. But I call Charter Spectrum not hoping for much. Talk to one girl in billing who trans me over to god knows where,,,and I meet a beer guy. Lol. He brews his own even. he suggests Bison beer by Longcreek.....which I will try. He give me a discount which lowers my price to $19 frickin dollars wooo...but I apply speed to my pipe....500 down...half a gig ....$34 a month..I take it for 12 months and leave. I am happy..... an d dizzy.
Just like that..phone call and lowered my bill by $20 an raised my speed by 200 megabytes per second.

Re: World internet speeds
I live in the country and have done every type of internet, and was even on the waiting list for Elon's Satalite service. Then 5G came into the area, and I was getting fairly good speeds. However, a few weeks ago I get a call that they ran Fiber past my house, and would I like to switch?
So I laugh, and say, are you sure you can hook my house up, it happens all the time that they somehow get it wrong. But nope, Fiber is here, so I am getting almost 1 TB down, and 750 MB up. Price is higher, but the speeds are the best I have ever had. So very happy.

Re: World internet speeds
Um, I am assuming GB down as opposed to the 1000 times faster TB down.RMC wrote: ↑Tue Jan 09, 2024 8:45 am I live in the country and have done every type of internet, and was even on the waiting list for Elon's Satalite service.

Probably feels like 1 TB to him. Leave him be

Re: World internet speeds
I'm going to push even further and suggest it's Gb vs the 8x faster GB. Xfinity has 6Gb but as far as I am aware, nobody offers GB for home internet in the US.
Yes, I am being pedantic.
