A report clearly shows ISPs are still failing to provide advertised speeds...

They also advertise that those speeds are "up to" those speeds. And that they may be less than the "optimum" number. No promises. No guarantees.

and that's where they messed up.., "UP TO" tell that to the tax payers 40 years ago that paid for the cable in the first place.. government sold it to private now its all messed up, regulation is need in this area more than ever, Just like theirs regulation in the wireless industry the cable co's need it to..

Looks like a guy named Bob Magness used borrowed money to build a CATV system from scratch. When it went public in 1972, it became, "Tele-Communications, Inc." (aka, "TCI"). Did I not dig deep enough? What will I find rooting around the Internet for the histories of the other MSOs?
