Re: Simple solution May I make a few comments! A comment was made that it is not the providers fault if your house is not in order. I pay for in home wiring(for the last 30 or more years), so if the in home wiring is not up to snuff it is their fault. I pay for 3.0mb service and if I get 1.5 service instead then they should bill me for the lower service and skip the bull about of up to speeds. And when I went from 1.5 service(actually got about 1.2 service) to 3.0 service(actually got better than 3.0) than then all of a sudden the service drops to less than 500kbs, then I would say that the provider has a problem that should be fixed and if they cannot fix it then they should not hold one to the contract. Just my two cents worth. For years my provider told me that the best they could do was 1.5, but I found out that my neighbor was getting 3.0 and after much complaining they upped me to 3.0. His line comes from the same box as mine. Also, they should be able to tell you what you can actually expect, instead of saying that nothing is quaranteed.
What is find interesting is that Cox Communication advertizes high speed service up to 2.5 times faster than the fastest dsl(in NO up to 6.0), but actually delivers much slower service, while in Boston, Comcast actually provides some home service as fast as 30mb, Why the big difference? |
