Post your internet speeds

YEEAH I promised them my first born child, and most of all of my paychecks for the next 45 years of my life and my internet honks donkey. I hate them I hate them I HATE THEM.
Comcast? Or just general American company ****ery?

I have a friend in Illinois who has a bunch of problems with his provider, yet it's the only one available in his area. It's the kind of thing I don't experience because when one company screws up I can just switch to a better one.

That's also why I'm currently king in this thread.
 
is this right

Time Warner Cable.

But yeah, probably American in general. See, my problem is, TWC is ALL there is out here. So they can stick it to whoever and however they want. It's such a crying shame. They promise me fiber cabled internet supertude, with 30 mb down and 3 mb up.

Most of the time I'm getting like 10 down and .5 up.

Not to mention it took me like 4 months of not having internet or cable to finally get them to come here. That's their stupid plot. Starve me, then feed my junk.

You.... you and your fancy free market competition.
 
You seriously are getting the speeds of the "Ultimate" internet package from TWC
Not anymore lololol (scroll down a bit)

If it makes you feel any better, my mom only went to the nearest TWC like 2 months ago to drop our cable package and said she wanted standard internet only, and the lady signed her onto the $35 plan (which is normally an online-only deal) without any trouble. I think our price is supposed to increase next year as well, but usually when that happens we just go whine to TWC and they'll put us on another promo plan.

The fact that American companies can do that shows how broken the system is. Then again, if you look at the size of the US and the size of European countries, it kind of starts making sense.

Again using my Illinois friend as an example, he was wondering why I use public transport to get everywhere rather than a car. I'm 25 and don't even have a driver's license. It wasn't until I showed him that my entire country fits into Illinois three times over that he understood.

And while I don't necessarily agree with it, I can imagine that companies in the US would have trouble with getting the same kind of service everywhere. It's images like this one that make it a bit clearer. But even then I say those companies should get off their ass and start working on providing actual service for people. The way they treat consumers is just terrible, and it's because they don't have any competition that they know they can get away with it. If something goes wrong here companies will grovel at your feet because they know you can end your subscription and go to another company that does provide good service.

I feel for you, man.

I failed the test.
These jokes aren't funny, Dad.

Wish that there were better internet plans in Canada that didn't have bandwidth caps or weren't so expensive. At least the plan I'm on doesn't have a cap.

OMG
I can't breathe that's so bad.
I didn't think I'd see an F- or even an F.
I'm not laughing at you.

honestly I think I'm just generally awful with internet speeds, I've always had slow internet regardless of anything, my little brother has his dsi, 3ds, tablet, and 2 ipods always downloading (especially today) so that probably made it 100x worse
