I know that the ISP's over there are fucking horrible..
I think most are still using data limits right? And those without are goddamn expensive.
Or did that change now finally? |
Well, I changed to Dommel afterwards which was 14 or so per month for 20/10Mbit. Dunno the limit, I don't download that much anymore, really I don't care about it, it's more than enough apparently.
Nowadays I even pay for my MP3s and video on demand, I even go to the cinema and pay for tickets. I use internet to surf and work  All together still cheaper than my big connection in the past...
To be honest, I cashed out royally on Telenet shares recently with a >200% return the past 3-4 years. Yeah, shit expensive, people pay for it, making shitload of profits, but no don't have it. There are cheaper alternatives, but it takes some 'effort' and you have to go through the occasional downtime or speed drop... So, I still thank Telenet, earned more on them than I ever paid for it
Btw, on a totally different note. A colleague of mine was in New York for 6 months the beginning of this year. As a good European, he got a cable connection there and downloaded some series for his kids to watch. 1 day later he got a warning via the phone from the ISP to stop using torrents... Apparently, they are enforcing it rather strictly in the USA... He first thought it was a prank call from a colleague, but no no, real stuff...

Well got back from Amsterdam and found out that my net was down, reboot modem and:
Seems that it WAS indeed the upload channels not being used:

So see, my bitching was justified and did work out for me in the end

Didn't even know this thread existed 
But no, no issues here really. Came home from holiday, only rebooted modem because the phone was out.
Most servers on speedtest.net, the hump one included, can't actually push 150 Mbit, this one was the fastest one. Couldn't care less really, download was fast enough for me anyway.
