My ISP calls this broadband :(

7kbps down, 159kbps up

motherfvckers, I cannot believe I'm paying $40/mo for this. Unfortunately, my apartment complex signed a contract with this mothefvckers that forces me to use them :|

Taken directly from their website:

Each NTC property has a high-speed broadband connection distributed by Ethernet switches to each customer's bedroom. In most locations, NTC also has a direct fiber-optic, ATM or T-1 connection to the local University's network. NTC customers receive the same benefits of on-campus services in the comfort of their own off-campus apartment. NTC's network does not require the student to use an unreliable dial-up phone/modem connection. We provide a permanent connection allowing you to be on-line all the time, thus freeing up your phone line. With our Network connection you receive all the necessary support to get online as quickly and easily as possible, including a help desk for trouble-shooting Ethernet card installations and other customer support services.

This is broadband? yeah right, it's broadband my ass you ball joggling asswipes. I sent an email on last friday and still no response. Everytime I call them, I get this dumbass robotic motherfvcker telling me that P2P are the evil!!!! OMG OMG OMG. Grrr... just had to rant. Sorry.

that fvckin sucks

 

[yankeesfan]

$40 a month for that?!?!?! That's horrible.

I would vow to use every single kbps up uploading worthless crap to whomever just to use up their bandwidth until they give you some more downspeed!

 

[sniperruff]

up faster than down? must be massive people sharing the internet

motherfvckers, i just hope there's something i can do legally. i cannot believe i am forced to use these motherfvckers although it's not in my motherfvckin lease.

If it's not in your lease how are they forcing you to use the service? I'd definitely get a different service provider, that's just piss poor for $40 a month.

I can't and that's the problem. Adelphia nor Comcast cannot provide service due to these motherfvckers' deal with my apartment complex.

Maybe they didn't get your e-mail because your internet is so damn slow. Didn't mean to rub it in.

$30 a month and i got the free wireless linksys router.

so far i like it. 1.5D/384U i believe. haven't tested the upload but it's definitely 1.5mb DL for sure (180kb/s), since i have that kind of speed whenever i torrent or DL something large

as for reliability it's ok. 2 times of downage over the past 3 and 1/2 months that i've had it, and both times were severe tunder storms, when even the t-mobile tower was down.

i live in NYC

in conclusion, it is well worth the $30 a month, plus some crappy fees that is like $2 and some tax, it's closer to $35 or so.

 

[aphex]

Another vote for Verizon DSL, works well for me in FL.

 

[brigden]

Find the point of origin and start cutting all the connections save for yours.

 

[Lyfer]

Thats fvcking horrible.
