I'm paying 120.00 for about 900ish mbps down and like 40mbps up. allegedly 500mbps up/down is like 50 bucks. If that's the case. I'm soooooooooooooo done with comcast.

ISP choice is a joke. Verizon sent me to collections after botching a cutover and failing to properly generate an accurate bill I could pay. Pick the best evil empire, if you even have a choice.

I managed to replace Comcast with Ting fiber shortly before Ting stopped rolling out new fiber.

About 25 years ago, I managed to sign up for DSL service through Speakeasy.net before they lost their soul and disappeared into a blood-stained abyss of corporate mergers.

In both situations, I feel like the only reason why my internet still works is because someone forgot to turn it off.

Am I the reason why all the good ISPs die?

I pay €75/month for 2Gbps/200Mbps fibre and that's one of the most expensive ISPs in the country. And we're not a particularly cheap European country. Just... yowch.

I was EXPLICIT in my phone call when I set up my account. I made fucking sure they said $100.

It's $170 every month and I have been fighting these cunts for days to get this fixed.

I am so sick of being taken advantage of by people.

I've been using the latter for a few years now and it's quite good when it works, but the support is horrendous. $80/m for ostensibly 1Gbps synchronous, slightly less than that if they install a G.fast extension from your demarc but still quite good.
