Too bad they throttle legal p2p traffic...

Wouldn't matter for me...I have 20Mbit down, which is a maximum of 2Megabytes a second, and I rarely see it jump over 1MB a second. If that. Right now I'm downloading something at a record breaking 1.5kbs :curse:

You are kidding me, right? 1.5kb/s?

Anyway, 60Mbps, they couldn't guarantee that speed, so it's pretty much pointless :fighty:

but theres always a sucker to pay for it. i dont know why they bother, i can't imagine how much money they spend on extre reps to take calls about complaints about their internet being slow

I thought the article said it would only be like $50-$60 or something like that.

Did I read it incorrectly?

You read it correctly.

By bandwidth standards, that's cheap.

But like i say, they didn't guarantee that speed, so you might get, well, say, 1mbps and when you complain about it, they'll say thing like 'speed are based on best effort basis'.

That **** happens on my country ISP. Luckily my current Fibre-based ISP delivers, otherwise i'll lose faith on humanity :fighty:
