Re: Interesting idea but....

Don't get me wrong, I think it is a good idea as I like to get what I pay for also. But would it ever happen? I doubt it.

It won't happen as long as they advertise/commit to "up to".. and no one can really enforce anything else.

What would be nice is if the ISPs are made to supply the average actual speed people are getting (of course in fine print, lol). Cable has shared issues, but DSL should be more accurately defined and not 2/3 of what you pay for on your best day (slight exaggeration but you get the idea). As of now, any problems are written off with a quote of "up to" from the TOS.

Besides, no one here wants a speed test.. Investigating speed issues might shut down those "free" access points y'all fight so hard for.
