re: #106 Feline Fearless Leader

My new neighbors got hosed like that right after they moved in. Both grad students and needed the internet access ASAP for easing getting to stuff for university work. So I let them piggyback off my wireless for a week or so until things got straightened out.

Also seeing messages on the building community site about people thinking FioS is too slow and looking towards switching to Comcast. Along with other messages from residents who find Comcast too slow and are looking to switch to FioS. You’re doomed either way folk - you get get to choose which company screws you.

(And Comcast has been showing noticable slowing every night from about 8:30pm through 11:00pm. Watch my Mbps running YouTube videos drop from 52 to 13, and then hover between 13 and 26 for over an hour.

I’m mostly annoyed because I’m trying to get out from under the thumb of Mediacom, who implemented a rather draconian bandwidth cap late last year. This is the first month I approached said cap, and in addition to being more expensive for inferior bandwidth, it was time to switch. So I ordered the service, and for them to screw it up like this really has me steamed. It’s like, do you NOT WANT my business?
