Odd, because my computer usually gets around 1 Gbps on an Ethernet cable. I'll have to see if it changed when I get back. Something tells me it has something to do with Google Fiber...

...Also, I can't remember what it normally was. Sorry.

They've allegedly been doing that in areas where they are facing competition. You live in Kansas City by any chance?

The Comcast mechanic who came over to replace a bad wire "that was causing the complications" said that "sometimes it isn't steady, and it might just take a dip for a while".

I was like "oh, okay". And he fixed the wire. I played my game, yay, it worked and no lagging and I can finally watch youtube videos.

5 hours later, it started lagging again.

I swear on me mum they just "replaced the wire" and just put us on the exception list for "lol u suk u gut low internt" for a while so they wouldn't get a scream call.
