welcome to the forum ostensor, yes, what u said is true, they keep on downgrading my service for some reason, when I complain they bring my speed back up. They all know that they are feeding their custemors bunch of bs.

I cant seem to get it right. (pasting the image in here).

here is one more test, this is the highest it gets: :::..

this is a speed test done while listening to a radio station: :::..

welcome to the forum. If its not even lettiing u reformat your disk it could be that your hard drive is fried, sometimes when u buy a new computer something miht be wrong with the hard drive. Give a little bit more info, what does it say when u try to start the computer up?

lol, , I agree with you. I used to have aol dial-up for one month before I got cable. When I cancelled the aol service, they kept on telling me to stay as custemor, I said I'd pass, and a month later they call me again and offer me 3 months free to join aol again, I refused and told them to stop calling me, and told them I already had a internet service provider,

is it cable you are one?

Seriously, if u go click on top ISP's, Comcast has the most customers that use this website.

LOL, just playing, thats Comcast, looks like we have invaded everything.

Cox uassually goes faster than that, even if u have the lowest package.

Lmao, for some reason I found that funny. lol.

I have no clue what that is, I guess they just clear up your lines so u get a better signal, but all I know is they changed something in my lines outside my house.

Welcome to the forum vought. When the tech comes over, tell him to do a test off a website, and he will see that your connection is slow.

If I'm not wrong I think he is trying to find a good isp in Bagdad.

Very nice speeds there. I have Comcast, and the highest I get is 6.3Mbps sometimes, and I do have the 6000/768 package. How do u get your speeds that high?

I would have to go with the Pistons too.

When I looked at the bill it said I had to pay for installation (but I installed everything with the free self-install kit). They have told me many times that they are going to change my bill, but they never do.

The thing is whenever they tell me they are going to take off the charges, a week passes by and they still dont do it.

you dont have to upgrade your speed at all, Vonage only uses 90kbs of your of your internet speed, but the custemor service is very bad, u wont understand a thing they say, because everyone that works there is arabian or something. I was thinkung about getting Vonage, but didnt get too far. The same lady kept on picking up the phone everytime I called, and I couldnt really understand her. So I said fuck it.
