Mojo 77 @apexcovantage.com	reply to Linklist Re: Struggling?? Except for Frontier - not true How about you actually read the report before you mindlessly jump to the defense of your favorite corporations, Mitt? The report clearly shows ISPs are struggling at peak times to deliver advertised speeds. Particularly DSL providers. There's improvement thanks to naming and shaming, but overall the report notes that just 4 of 14 ISPs actually deliver what they say they deliver. You have shit standards if you think thats "delivering what they promise to their customers."

bn1221 join:2009-04-29 Cortland, NY	80% of "max advertised" isn't really struggling. My speedometer goes to 160MPH but I doubt my car can even do 80MPH. I'd rather have 50% of a 10 mbit segment than 150% of a 1 mbit link.

Mojo 77 @ecatel.net	Again, just FOUR of FOURTEEN ISPs are capable of delivering speeds they PROMISE IN ADVERTISING at peak times. That's struggling to meet their own standards, by any definition.

Mojo 77 @speakeasy.net	Seriously, is in any wonder the U.S. has some of the most expensive broadband anywhere and we still struggle to connect many places if some of this website's regulars are any example of the public thought process? A report clearly shows ISPs are still failing to provide advertised speeds, and you've got people here who either deny the data or whose first thought is "golly I think failing to deliver what they promise isn't really considered struggling." Where are all the smart and empathic people at this website hiding?

The Limit Premium join:2007-09-25 Greensboro, NC kudos:2	reply to Linklist ...so you are saying that my seriously oversubscribed CO at home is within those limits? I don't think so.

bn1221 join:2009-04-29 Cortland, NY Reviews: ·RoadRunner Cable	reply to coldmoon So you work a full 480 minutes per 8 hour shift? I wish I was your manager so I could have an employee that understand working one less minute than a full 8 hour shift is theft. How do you like the strict interpretation of the rules applied to you?

The Limit Premium join:2007-09-25 Greensboro, NC kudos:2	reply to bn1221 That's not even a valid comparison, we have labor laws in place that allow so many breaks per eight hour shift. The work place is regulated. The broadband industry is not regulated. If you were his manager, you would be investigated by the Labor Board if you did this. -- "We will evaluate these integrals rigorously if we can, and non-rigorously if we must". ---Victor Moll, invited talk, Tom Osler Fest (April 17, 2010)

I don't expect a toyota yaris to go 160, but if i purchased a vette .. id expect it to go 160. What the ISP's are doing is simple ..they are selling a perceived corvette speed that actually runs like a yaris.

Maybe they are PR people that work for those same ISPs. Naw that can't be!
