You're getting ripped off hardcore.






There's no such thing as a "reasonable price" for cable/internet. It's price fixed in most of America. I'm paying like $50 for 30 down, 5 up.

forget. these guys are starfishs.
you got ripped off HARD CORE

im loving pissed now im calling tomorrow about this stuff. this is a load of forget.

"high speed internet" means absolutely nothing anymore

3Mbps up 0.1Mbps down was considered "high speed"

3G is apparently considered "high speed" ok so 3G can reach p reasonable speeds at times

High speed internet refers to non-dialup internet. The name comes from a time where dialup was the alternative, so it was 'high speed.' Companies still use it to describe non-dialup internet.

my phone get like 3.6 mbps down and .79 up
