Think I should sue my isp ;)

This is horrible. They just went from having someone provide them w/a t-1 to having their own T-1.

They give 256kb service, and have about 400 clients.

How can they only stand a T-1?

I have a feeling once everyone gets switched over the the new t-1 service will only get worse.

My rant!

Sounds to me like they're severely over-selling their bandwidth, are you sure they only have one T1? T3's and up are much more common in the ISP world unless you're dealing with mom & pop ISP's run out of somebody's garage.

ya I agree with Viper

contact them and see whats up
Are you sure only you and a small area around you aren't getting that T1?

I remember at my whole school, the whole damn school shared one T1. That was horrible.

I'm serious.

Only 1 T-1

They plan on expanding, and they only have 1 T-1.

My mom works for them, but they continually don't listen to me.

Oh well, when they file for bankrupt I'm going to tell em I told ya so.

And our school only has a t-1 throughout about 500 computers. It sucks sooooooo badly.

yes Paulson my old school was small. I'd say there were probably about lets see, 100-200 comps hooked up to it. Wirelessly which was very cool but it was slow as hell.

T1's are outdated, my cable modem runs downstream the speed of a T1.

Now, lets start getting some OC-45's :D

While T-1's may have become outdated, the price surely doesn't reflect this.....

It's called guaranteed service. You're not really paying for the bandwidth, you're paying for the guarantee that when all hell breaks loose your line will be there for you.
