Franklin, NC | What about packet loss? hes another issue. What if the ISP has a crappy network, so your dropping packets that count toward your per/byte and then you have to retransmit the same info, doubling your usage for that packet |

Get real. While people do often move for better jobs, only an extremely few move (as in the distance to a market with more ISP options) for the other reasons you listed. All the other reasons you listed you can usually just move to a different section of a town to improve. In most towns one cannot move to another area within the same town(or metro) and change the ISPs one has access to, for the most part each town(or metro) has just one set of choices for ISP. |
