It's a lovely thread and TIME HAS PROVEN that I was absolutely fuckin' right about every single thing I said in it!!

Not to be, like, too boastful about it, or full of myself, or anything.
Isn't your goal to be mostly wrong? Fucking braggart. ;)

Define "shitty".

I purchased my DSL from Bellsouth in 2005 (B4 Bellsouth was purchased by AT&T), and it's still going strong.

Careful, dude. UT's the boss of the board. He has the power of banishment.

Shitty in this case means painfully slow for what your are paying.

The highest available speed in my area from my ISP is 1.5Mbps for 35 bucks a month. Sufficient for my needs.

That's 1.5 Mega Bytes, Comcast is talking Mega Bits, big difference.

Didn't you notice I posted 1.5bps, NOT 1.5MBps?

So your ISP charges about $22 for each Mbps.

Our ISP charges $90.12 for 50 Mbps (that includes all taxes and a laundry list of fees.) That works out to about $1.80 for each Mbps. It also includes phone service, but no TV.

Your ISP charges about 12 times more.

Rural areas are getting screwed by not having fiber.

When did I say I had fiber-optic? Also, what equation did you use to get your numbers?


Actually, I failed to take into account AT&T's annual increases for my bill. The current monthly charge for my DSL is $44.00.

He didn't say you have fiber, he said you're getting raped by not having fiber.
I have fiber and 80 MEGABYTES per second.

You mean megabits, which is the data transfer rate. Megabytes per second is how much data is downloaded per megabit.

xoxoxoBruce 09-02-2016 11:30 PM
No, I mean megabytes, which is the normal measurement in data transfer.

What are your results at speedtest.net?

I just checked my speed, and I got:

Attachment 57779

Remember, Mb/s (a.k.a Mbps) = Megabits per second.

I'm willing to bet that your result will also be in Mb/s, not MB/s.

And the phone service is added to that $44? What is the total you write on the check for DSL and all phone charges?
