WTF Cable company:

So I wrote his long nasty e-mail to my new cable company last night, cause they had me capped at 1.5MB downloads, when they told me they had 3MB downloads, and they have the gayest interface ever on their menu, which forces you to look at ads so you cant even see what programming is coming on in the future, only whats on at the moment…, not expecting a response. Got to work today and got a phone call from them saying that the “problem should be fixed”. Voila! Magically im downloading at 375K instead of 175K. Thats some shady shit right there. Ill be 90% of the dumbfucks would never know the difference. :rofl: @ the customer service guys name.

comcast is no better… at least they give 3mbps though heh

your last name is knapp?

for some reason i always thought you had some kind of unpronouncable polish last name…

cable interweb sucks. t1’s for all!!!

its actually a common mistake mike, it happens all the time. 1 config off and you will not hit the certain speed. We deal with it at least once a week

Wow, I think that guy should learn how to spell. (the guy who replied to you)

Funny how they ignored your comments on the advertisements altogether.

my cabe at home is consistently over 400kbps from a good server. Adelphia cable kicks ass.

t1’s are slow

We just got a new SAN at work with the 2gbps fiber. The speed is incredible, I want fiber to my house :x:

who supplies adelphia in the south hills? bethel park area?

and emails like that one do nothing but make me laugh…deplorable rofl!

Fiber doesn’t guarntee you speed, it’s just the physical layer 1 connectivity. I can drop you a fiber 25mbps connection if you want :slight_smile:

For the idiot that said T1’s for everyone, wtf are you thinking? T1 is a dedicated engineered circuit, which is designed more for a dedicated connection, you are paying for an SLA, not speed.

Armstrong > anyone else I’ve ever seen period…

trying to make a joke … notice the “!!!”

yeah f t1!!@!! T3 for everybody!!!1!!

if it ain’t OC… i don’t want it

yeah I know, I laugh at those letters too when they come to the hotel… But thats what happens when its 5AM and you’re drunk and trying to download porn and its not going fast enough.

negative. There are some people on this board (and in this thread :kekegay: ) with Strange last names…
