Actually, I'll have better internet tomorrow than I have ever had. 4x better than what I previously had, all because I moved in-town. Unfortunately this antire general area is a Comcast monopoly zone, so I have to pay $100/mo for 300/15 internet.

Ouch, yeah...
Wait, 300/15? it's ADSL? why have they gone back to using that instead of normal DSL?

Cable. They do that because they have a monopoly, and this is part of how they "combat file sharers".

I guess there aren't a lot of programing shops in your vicinity then ( because they need a high upload bandwidth for synching the code files all the time)

Business internet is seperate from home internet. Comcast won't supply business internet to residential addresses.

 

Woo! 18,000th post!

Well, I'm now getting 300/7 internet on speedtests... Same upload as I had before, but 4x the download... I'd hapily sacrifice half the download to double the upload, but Comcast won't allow that.

 

[EDIT] Switched out the rental modem for my permanent modem, (had to wait for it to be removed from my parent's old account) and now I'm getting closer to 200/12. To many people that may seem like a downgrade, but it most definitely is not.

So you were able to get your max download but not your max upload, and now you don't get the max of both? That's a bitch!
