Well, why do you hate your ISP? Personally, I hate my grandma's for this reason. Every. Fucking. 30. Minutes. Comcast (at my dad's) is still on my good side.

Don't have major gripe with my ISP but there customer service is total crap (time warner) Currently have 30/5 and the price to go 50/5 is rediculus. Side note: I have TV service that they up'd my rates on again for the 3rd time -.-

OMG. I have those errors too. Also, the speeds are pathetic for NetZero. It's like 3/1.5 for me. Also, I think it's throttled at night. YT refuses to work, so does LTT.

my ISP, Agder Breiband, has okay network lines, support is okay, but their gear is literally 6+ years old, and I have received three different router / modems that haven't worked. Their site is also like the worst site on earth.

And by the way, the resolution... Was not successful. I sat waiting from 12:08 to 12:15 for it to come back online.

While I would want more value in terms of internet speeds and usage and whatever I don't hate my ISP.  I appreciate what they do offer and just hope there will one day be a day when NWO takes over the world and everyone can have elite internet. My provider btw is Start Communications.

The very low speeds (12 down almost 2 down, and this is the top tier package)

The very poor infrastructure, and the bad service (everyone I know, including me) has been encountering lots of package loss problems, which is terrible for gaming.

my isp throttles everything i cant buffer ANYTHING without vpn

ttnet (my isp) has been investing on deep packet inspection for few years now ,nobody likes that (except government.)

AKK = fair share bandwidth ,it throttles my bandwidth all the way down to 3mbps if i download more than 100gb

they charge me extra for fiber box installation which is the only reason why i am stuck with DSL

Virgin medias supplied router is the biggest waste of electronics in the house, it can barely get a signal to my room with a range extender, and the upload speeds are awful, even if the download speeds are brilliant, but only when stood in the same room as it.

The only thing i can say about my ISP is that i hate the prices for the internet. It's cheaper then everything else in Norway BUT it's like 10x as much as in sweden :( I pay for 60/60 and get up-to 80/100 which is obviously good! (The internetbox is in my building!) That's all i can really say about my ISP.. ^^

I actually like my ISP, they offer nice speeds for a fair price (considering the local competition) and the actual speeds are a bit higher than advertised. The customer service is pretty good too, I had a broken modem and I just took it to their central and they changed it no questions asked.

I like mine, the only problem I have is that the router they have is so bad... And they brand DOCSIS as FTTH, but they're starting to implement FTTH.

Granny decided not to get XFINITY and she doesn't want to call AT&T to get up to date. Her router is from fucking 2008 or earlier.

I have no problem with mine, even though it is pretty expensive. Getting a new ISP when I get fiber though. Sweden is great in the way that there are at least 19 ISP's here.

No. Contract ended in 2010 or 2012, but she refuses to do anything about it.
