I don't know about you, but for me one of my top 10 peeves is slow internet. I pay Newwave Communications a chunk of change ($65.00) each month to have 15 Mb/s download and 2 Mb/s upload. Unfortunately, I don't always get what I'm paying for. What really tanks me is they ALWAYS want to blame my computer first. You must have spyware, or a virus that is slowing down your computer. They can't fathom that someone out there might actually know how to keep a clean system and has already checked for problems with his set up BEFORE calling to complain.
Tonight I'm rolling in at about 3 Mb/s on the D/L side. PATHETIC!! I've taken a page from my dad's book this go around and I sent them an email detailing my displeasure. Next I'm going to print out all my speed test and take them to the local office. I feel a $10.00 discount coming on for the next three to six months.
So how fast is your internet? I'm in PoDunk USA, so we are thrilled with 15 Mb/s. I hear that in some cities the standard is 50 or 100 Mb/s.

Well, I'm off to post nasty things about my internet provider on Facebook. I'll catch you later and happy surfing!
