Post your speed and how much you pay monthly
OldHippieDude replied to V's topic in Show off your speed
OY VEY!! .. My $60 U.S. Dollars are not purchasing very much at all, sagerj, comparatively speaking! .. I think I'll commence litigation procedures in Superior Court, ..Myself versus Windstream Communications, for "Blatant Exploitation!" Living way out here in the sticks, the boondocks, my options are NIL! Whatever happened to the Federal Communication Commission?!! << Rhetorical. I think I'll seek reparation damages. These past 12 years I've been paying this company for that which I have not received, i.e. "Broadband Internet Services!" .. By my calculations, at 1.3 Mbps Download, and 314 Kbps upload, I figure they owe me $7, 247.38, fees commensurate with my actual service connection speed, and adding 8% accrued interest for the sum total. .. I'm not hard-hearted, so I'll probably relent and settle out of Court for $Five Large! Peace, OldHippieDude -

Since my connection speed is 96% slower than my local Host users' speed, shouldn't I be paying only like, $1.34 per month, accordingly? Peace, OHD -

Yeah, the Dallas server is closest, Pgoodwin1. I'm about 50-60 miles, as the turkey buzzard flies, SSE of Tulsa, OK. I do try to stay positive about it. It's sufficient to stream NETFLIX and Amazon Prime, et cetera, rarely pausing for buffering. I started to have DishNet installed way out here in the boondocks, but got to reading all their legalese fine print and sundry disclaimers, then surmised that If I viewed 4 or 5 movies, early in one billing cycle, that would mean I had pretty much 'shot my wad' for streaming that month! .. They would begin to throttle me back for the rest of the cycle. .. Corporate hogs! Absurdity! Haha . . At least with DSL, I don't experience rain fade, either. .. The actual broadband 'connection speed' is comparatively faster than dial-up Netscape or AOL from days of yore, of the last Millennium. .. J/k, it is good enough for me. .. I think $60.00 mo. total is fair enough with unlimited LD phone service. I don't like smart phones because I'm dumb. I used to pay $84.00 per month but I persuaded the nice folks at Windstream to 'gimme a break!' -

But, I get a break. $60.00 per month for unlimited long distance and this soso-called "broadband" service. -

Can you believe I'm happy, given that DSL is my only means for broadband way to Hades out here in the woods! Haha .. I'm only in the lowest 94% echelon, compared to my server's average. But, it's a helluva lot better than Windows 95 and AOL dial-up! Well, somewhat improved. -
