Title: Need help with internet speed
Post by: Juan_Ambriz on August 02, 2011, 04:26:27 PM
Ok so i have had AT&T for a while now and we have been paying for 3MB/s
the highest i have EVER gotten is
130-170KB/s i have the U-Verse plan, and when i call and bitch and see what i can do they just say "The building doesnt reach that far to your home" which is a BIG lie because my friends house is right next to the building, has the same plan as me and ALSO gets the shittiest speed....
I really hate suffering like this.. is their ANYTHING i can do?

Yeah I have AT&T and paying for about 5MB/s also except I only get about 700kb/s. ISP's are always like that.

You dont understand how internet speeds work.

They advertise their speed in megabits, not bytes.

8mbps = 1MB/s

So your internet speed isnt slower than it should be, you just didnt do your research when purchasing your internet from your ISP.

And get your shit slapped by them when you pingaz something? Yeano.

But yea, you're paying for the right speed. I think you have to divide your Megabits by 7 or 8 or something like that and get a long number that gives you a hint on what your speed is.

AT&T U-Verse (Which is what he said he has) has 24mbps down/3mbps up.

That's 3MB/s and 400kbps up, Juan.
