get your own equipment, separate modem + router and you should get the speed you pay for,otherwise snapshot your speeds daily and if its consistently not even close call in and complain

>fios

>$90ish a month

>50/50 fiber

>no contract

doesn't compare to europoors or other fibers,but this is better than most of the country

>>540731

With comcast, 1TB costs $200 in overages. Yet they will gladly sell you an unlimited plan for $35 extra every month if you subscribe ahead of time. :')

What movie is that from?

>comshit

And free NSA spying :^)

>tfw 6mb down/768k up crappy cable link

>$37 a month quite a lot considering median income here is like half of clapistan's

>$4 extra for 12/1.5 mb link

At least I don't get cucked by caps and overage charges.

>>540727

>Having a contract with any ISP

There's where you fucked up.

I have it worse, though my download speed is a little better. Time Warner Cable. When they moved into my city back in Y2K, they offered SYNCHRONOUS 64 MEGABIT CONNECTIONS for FORTY FUCKING DOLLARS. I was the upload king in the early days of BT and DC++.

Now? About three times as much, for 15Mbit down, 1.5 up, on a good day where it's raining money and the faucets pour out gold dust.

Here's a horrible secret. The main software AT&T uses for its agents in customer interactions? Made in Israel.

teksavvy is not bad

I'm used to shit speeds since I use VPNs/Tor/etc all the time.

I've heard Sonic is good, but I've never used them because they don't serve my area. It seems like a lot of states in burgerland have a good (or even great) local ISP. Problem is you have to live in the area they serve.

>Moreover, they haven't been revealed to be running Israeli-made supercomputers designed to aid the NSA's mission; but let's be honest, we know every ISP is doing it anyway.

>/pol/ was right again

>>541547

Any good ones for Ill Noise??

how does one become an isp?

>>543479

Sell your soul and your firstborn to the NSA. That's what they like to call "a good start."

>>540615

What's this clip from?

>>543858

> Brazil (1985)

>burgerland

>local ISP offering gigabit upload and download for $70/month

>hasn't moved into my area yet

>stuck with 2 megabit upload and 20 megabit download for he same price

Why even live

>dish

>$70 per month

>10GB bandwithcap monthly

>15mbs down (actual 1mbs)

>.5mbs up

Stay away from dish even if it's the only thing availible. Driving to the library every single day is more convienent and less stressful.

>2 year contract

>only thing availible

>Canada

>Rogers

>9MB/s down

>1MB/s up

>CAD$170/month

life is pretty shitty but at least I can download faster then 90% of the country.

>>545068

Forgot to mention that I have an unlimited cap.

>posh neighborhood in Beanerland

>$50/month, 20 Mbps

>Telmex is literally the most expensive ISP in the world, Carlos Slim ended up with a total monopoly of Mexican telecommunications and has zero qualms with abusing it

>there are cheaper ISPs, but they all fucking suck ass

>Izzi in particular is a fucking ripoff, they have a data metering clause hidden deep within a "fair usage policy" referred by the terms and conditions referred by the service delivery contract, if you exceed the usage cap which is arbitrary and can be easily busted by Netflix your connection drops to 1 Mbps

>Izzi is owned by Grupo Televisa, a media consortium which is in cahoots with the PRI and the federal government and was the protagonist of a documented conspiracy to put the PRI back in power by talking nothing but good about its members

>Telmex is expensive as balls, but one thing they do have is a pretty good tech support call center and consistently solid and a very stable service that almost never lags

Mexico is so-so in telecommunications. Internet usage is constantly growing, e-commerce is becoming increasingly popular and we have recently busted the 50% of the country with internet mark, but not because we're getting more advanced but because poor people want to copy what the cool awesome gringos do and they do it by force of sacrificing basic necessities in the name of having their goddamn Whatsapp gossip IV, because poor people can't into priorities (the shanty with a Sky dish and a 4K TV is a common sight here).

Also, you can make money very fast here by cracking wifis. Nobody ever changes the default wifi key and on mass-produced routers it's apparently too difficult to generate one from scratch so they just calculate a hash of the SSID or something like that and apply it as the wifi key, and because few poor people can still afford a fixed internet connection they just pay someone to crack their neighbor's wifi.

bump for interest

>tfw cheap fiber because i don't live in bumfuck nowhere

You just got the wrong end of the stick is all. Maybe get a look at local ISPs they usually offer much better service.

Orange are still a bunch of shitheads but l'ARCEP is much better than the FCC at regulating the asshole ISPs anyhow as they have way more power to do so.

>Verizon

>$80/mo

>50mbs down/20mbs up

>no data caps

>no bullshit copyright infringement letters

Not bad

>>545794

Verizon sells your data to Big Brother just like AT&T, son.

>>540615

My ISPs are all shit. they can't offer more than half gigabit speed unless you're corporate.

They usually offer 1-10mbps up/down for $20+/mo with 30-70GB datacap, 20-80mbps for fibr with datacap (lol.srsly?)

Because of all that shit, people here became wise enough to hack and crack the ISP and modem firmware and networks be it 3G, Wimax, LTE+Wimax, or even a fucking DSL's PPPoE and even break the bandwidth cap. You can literally use angry IP scanner to scan the IP range of a DSL network then infiltrate DSL routers by blindly guessing with the default username and password of router models that no one ever changes.

noice

>Local ISP

>1.0 MB down, 100 KB up

>No Bandwidth Caps, no throttling

>$29.99 a month if you bundle Phone/Cellphone, $39.99 otherwise.

>Same Local ISP also has FIOS if the street you are on has it (Mine does)

>50 MB down, 25MB Up

>Unmetered

>About $60.00-$70.00

1.0 MB though is enough for me, so I don't spend the extra money for FIOS. I rarely need more than 1MB download speeds.

>>545838

Same here, mine sent all their users shiny new free wifi routers (which they could afford to do, because price scalping monopoly) that lock up if you use the wifi too hard. 16 down/<1Mbit up is a joke.

what the fuck how?

i thought passwords are like 30+length with a mix of number,letter/symbols?
