Why do you hate your ISP?

[Probenja]

They have horrible customer support, other than that it is average.

[willielikesmonkeys]

Other than typical marketing crap (Fiber rich network my ass) Charter had been okay. Their cable package sucks ass but I enjoy streaming on twitch with 30 down/5 up for $30/Mo.

 

Edit: To be more specific their poor cable box UI looks nasty, and a DVR was like an extra $20 a month so If I really wanted that I could just get a TiVo. But I also appreciate their Android App. And "120" channels for $40/Mo isn't worth it in my opinion but the family LOVES their crappy Hollywood dramas so....

[Atlantisman]

You live in Provo?

Yep.

[Darren]

Plusnet: suppositely 24 mbps/s down it is 17.3 and 0.30 up. Random lagspikes for no f****ing reason aswell

 

24Mbps is the theoretical maximum for ADSL2+, so no, you're never going to get it. Further you are from the DSLAM, slower it goes, so consider yourself lucky with 17.3Mbps.

Err, Fiber is literally the best you can get.

[KamiKatze]

Yesterday there was a little bit of heavy rain and my ISP decided to stop working for an hour, then work for 10 miniutes, then stop working for 2 hours again and so on....

 

Nobody else had problems but my ISP just sucks! - Kabel Deutschland.

[Lord Gaben]

I Like my ISP, prices are a little higher but not that much higher than competition, nice speeds 100mb/s down and 50 mb/s up fibre and no throttling and 500GB cap which I am never gonning to go over

[Epis]

High price

Low bandwidth allowance

SLOW

Abysmal customer service

[Paralectic]

I don't hate mine.

 

It's cheap compared to others.

I've got 120/20 speeds without datacaps/

It always works for me!

[Xquisite]

I get what I pay for... 400KB/s Down and 100KB/s up. 

That is the best speeds (consumer grade) that you can get here.

[steffen_anywhere]

GRRRRR.

Oh boy, where do I start... China Telecom...do I need to say more?

Speeds in China are good and as advertised but outside of Mainland China it is awfully slow. VPN is a must and even google works properly without it... That is the reason why some times of the day, I can't even watch YouTube at 240p. Which is blocked of course. So Astrill is a Must. Also they block L2TP. Thanks for ruining my VPN on mobile devices and such. It only works from time to time. Terrible. Not only their fault though and I'd imagine that for chinese people it would be just fine. Plus their customer service is GREAT, especially for laowei (foreigners).

[Stadiz]

Not my isp, its fine. its the bloody router that I want to kick it in space (ae6700)

[Kyl3]

Comcast (Xfinity) likes to throttle my connection during the summer. I usually stream twitch all day. Damn uncompressed stream.

[gunsman]

currently have verizon, and they are garbage, they are pulling out their "up to 3mbps down" crap now by slowly decreasing down to 1.5 over the past few weeks, and what do you know, our contract ends soon, time to "upgrade". Also, their "tech support" is complete and utter garbage. It is like talking to a 2 year old. Had their "tech" (if you can actually call him that) call me back today about the slow decrease, he did jack $hit for me there because it is "acceptable", cool great, whatever, on to the next problem. One of their data centers has been having sporadic issues connecting to blizzard's servers, so i try to get that issue resolved but  all the guy kept saying was "sir, you get what paying for"

[jmaster299]

I have no issue with my service from Cox. Obviously I wish the price was better, but the service is great. I'm also in Las Vegas, which means I'm one of the first cities where they are upgrading their residential service to Gigabit. So I am very much looking forward to that. Each time they have upgraded their top service, they have automatically upgrade people in the current top tier to the newest top tier for free. In the six years I've been out here I've gone from 50/Mbps, to 100/Mbps to currently 150/Mbps, all without having to upgrade my service, and that trend is set to continue. At most I may have to upgrade my modem.

[Deus Ragno]

I don't.

I've never had a problem with them.

[ZiggyManSaad]

I've got U-Verse. It works when it feels like it. I've got an 18 mbps plan but I rarely get above 14. I can't stream YouTube and Netflix at the same time without YouTube downing the resolution. Yay. It's still quicker and cheaper than the competition. 

[Jobobee]

Fastest I could theoretically get is 20/1, but I only get 13/.75.

Terrible router, you can't change the SSID, the password either has to be 13 characters long, or 24-32.

They're not bad.

[Tola]

I hate my old ISP because it took the 3.5 years to get my network setup properly.

[tek inpektor]

.5 Mb/s upload. Usually kicks down to .3 Mb/s. $90 a month. >___> Only 10 Mb/s down.

[ColourShift]

Eh, that never happened to me here in Canada.

[DIV1D3]

I pay $90/month for 8/1gbps, <300 ping and almost always 1 bar, ofc I fkin hate my ISP. 

[Prokart2000]

i dont i get 10MB/s all the time and its unlimited

[lufihengr]

Promised speed 24/1

Actual speed 12/0.5

[Jade]

Upload speed. Down is ~3 megabyte/s.  Up is ~200 kilobyte/s. (CenturyLink.)

Happy note, moving soon and I'll be getting fiber from XMission.

[WaruSaru]

The only thing I hate about my ISP is the 3 Mb/s upload limit.

The download speeds are ok, they use fiber so that's good, customer service is not bad and ok prices, we don't have a download/upload cap/limit that after reach that cap your internet goes slower or you have to pay extra or anything like that.

I just want at least 50Mb upload speed.

Soon a new ISP will come out that will offer 100/100 down/up so we'll see what happens then the 3Mb/s limit will probably also change in my ISP as well.
