Now is the time to setup Bandwidth monitoring and start complaining when your speed is not that which your paying. For Example if your paying for a 6mbps feed and consitant speed tests show you at 4mbps.. Complain Daily.

as I have an 8mbps feed and there are times where I get only 2mbps. from the same speed test site(S) that show 13 at other times.

A: this is because of the big downloaders hogging the pipe… well no see i’m paying for an 8mbps feed. I get to use the 8 meg all day every day that is what the word (UNLIMITED) means. so they need to have the capability to provide 8 meg to each customer that pays for 8 meg.

Basicly it comes down to marketing and pooling. The marketing dept likes to make claims of “”" 8 mbps for $59.95 a month “” but If I were to get a DS3 at 8 mbps per month it would be around $1500 a month.. Little different. anyway they should drop the UNLIMITED wording from ads and come up with a new truthfull buzz word like up to 12mbps when it’s available and others aren’t being bittorrent whores.. That is more like reality.

The Real Price of Oil: Dollars, Gold, and the Price of Tea in China
Posted in Fuel, Gas Prices, Newsworthy, Oil Industry, Politics · Published on August 16, 2008

Oil, it’s the lifeblood of our society. It’s given us the freedom and wealth we have today. It’s given us automobiles and machinery and greased the wheels of the industrial revolution. It made old Jed a millionaire. But oil’s in trouble, the price is up and everyone thinks they understand it. But what if the price of oil wasn’t really up? What if it were just an illusion?

‘The price of oil is skyrocketing, and that means gas prices are up…’
That’s about the limit of what most Americans know and understand about the whole oil situation. But there are more complex issues at work, and they involve more than just Middle East politics and China.

The American Geological Institute (AGI) recently released a report looking at the price of crude oil in relation to the U.S. dollar and the price per ounce of gold. It highlights “

Techdirt Story:
Following Time Warner’s recent plans to test broadband caps and overage fees, Broadband Reports has the scoop that Comcast is very strongly considering the same thing. Unlike Time Warner Cable’s plans to test super low caps, Comcast is looking at 250GB/month — which it claims will only impact 0.1% of users. Overage fees will be pretty high, however: $15 charge for each 10 GB over the cap. Comcast will also give users one free “slip up” month per year, for those who go over just for that one month.
