Why internet, Why...

Why do I pay have to pay $70 a month for this :( I wish I could switch to a different ISP but I cannot due to the fact that no one has any infrastructure for cables ran in front of my house. The only reason why no one wants to do it is because they said not many people live on my road so its not worth it, but a 1/8 mile down my road there is a line there and it stops. My current ISP uses towers to broadcast a signal to someones house, something like using satellite but its on a tower like Verizon or Sprint. I just can't wait for the day that I am able to get faster internet because I really need it. The sad part is on my Verizon 4G LTE I get 20 down in my area.

Call them, it looks like a technical issue.

I really wish that we'd just make organic hardware already, that grows and adapts to the demands it needs to meet. That way, grannies' computers can be floppy sacks of organicness and the 12 year old Minecrafters will look like the guys that only do bicep curls, and the nerdy programmers will finally have justice, with their body-builder rigs that skipped leg day.

Hahaha oh boy, let me show you this is literally the lowest tier of connection available to me (gets a lot worst outside of the cities however) from one of the crappiest IPS here and it's like 50 bucks per month including VOIP line:

Really sad that your "developing" neighbors to the South can already outdo most of your ISPs Americans, and with net neutrality probably dying soon it's only going to get worst.

My ISP didn't close the line after previous owner of my apartment. Instead some sort of error have happened, and now this is the speed I get, without even paying for it..  :mellow:

Definitely mbps if it took 2 hours, otherwise it would have been done in minutes.

Lol good to know. Still faster and better and cheaper than the absolute SHIT that was Hughes net. I will never use them again, it's not even worth paying for if it's your only choice.

Fella, you are in dire need of internet period! Your speed has to be a glitch or system down or something like that. If i were you i would just get an unlimited Verizon 4G LTE and use that and send that shit back.
