They're one of the two ISPs available here.
The other being Comcast. I torrent too much to do that.

All of them. You shouldn't be forced to go through an ISP just to access the Internet.

>you shouldn't need to have internet to have internet
Someone doesn't know how internet backbones work, do they?

>>59031537
I do but I should be able to plug in my cable into an Ethernet port and have everything just werks without having to pay some company every month.

Wide network infrastructure is expensive

I'd want some sort of "for the people" government solution but as it turns out, mixing the government and the internet is usually not a great idea when they're all computer illiterate old men.

S'where you're wrong, kiddo.

Comcast was a member of Six Strikes, but the final steps only made you click a button to get out of trouble. You were not disconnected from service if you got to six strikes or later.

However, now that Six Strikes is over and a DMCA battle was fought and lost by a non-member ISP (Cox), you can bet your ass CenturyLink will turn you in on the third complaint more so than Comcast.

Mixing the internet and government have been great -- what are you talking about? Socialist leaning nations like Ecuador getting their ADSL upgraded to Fiber. Iron curtain countries had pre-fiber very early on. South Korea has the fastest average connection in the world.

It only becomes a problem when you tell me what cartoon pictures I can jack off to, whether or not I can watch porn without giving my social security number, and if I view seditious material without police at the door.

>Torrenting with your home internet connection

Get a cheap VPS for torrenting and then download the content directly.

I applied for an internship with them :/

There should be more not none. Would be great to have numerous local ISPs running on IPFS to handle bandwidth and delivery.

Comcast is ranked as the worst business in America.

No, not just the worst ISP in America, but the worst company, out of ALL the other companies that exist in America.

I was thinking of countries like the US where I'm situated. Letting any one of those guys touch the internet will just lead to increased power for the NSA and more bastardization. Even worse now that the executive branch, house of representatives and the senate are full of right-wing nutcases.

>tfw only 12 ISPs too choose from

>>59035465
To be fair, both the democrats and republicans (wouldn't call them left and right because they have both deviated extremely from their supposed ideals) have been eager to attack internet freedom in the US.

It's only thanks to applel's stalling that we didn't get a legal precedent of the government forcing companies to backdoor their crypto, and that was under Obama. Diane fuckstain has, of course, proposed an anti-crypto bill which exempts herself. Of course, trump is worse than any of them, but in any case both political parties would gladly screw internet users given the chance.

The only difference is the motive. For the left, it's monitoring "hate speech", for the right it's preventing "terrorism"

>tfw switched to CenturyLink a few months ago
I pay for the same bandwidth I did when I had TWC and this bullshit is so much slower. There are also regular periods where the Internet goes out for hours a night for a week at a time

>>59036591
Sounds like you're in my exact situation. I spent 3 or so years with TWC and switched to century link because I thought that surely nothing could be worse. God damn was I wrong. It cost more than twice as much, the price hikes came faster, and the internet never broke 800 kB/s.

Thank god my centurylink contract has ended. I never thought I'd look forward to switching back to TWC, but that's what centurylink does to you.

>>59036782
I'm actually saving hundreds a year between the switch from cable to DirecTV and Roadrunner to CenturyLink, had I known it was going to be so shitty I never would have though. With TWC I actually regularly got speeds higher than I paid for, I thought I'd at least get advertised speeds through CenturyLink, not once have I though and I'm months into the switch.

>tfw on rostelekike
>inb4 lynched

>>59036835
Yep. I realized that and just had to ride that shit out because their contract-breaking penalty was too fucking high and normal people can't call a lawyer to fuck them over for not holding up *their* side of the contract (my internet regularly cut out at night, like it sounds like yours does too).

For all of the nagging sales calls, TWC at least always got me the advertised 2MB/s consistently. Also, they had price hiked me from $35 to $50 after 3 years. Centurylink went from $35 to $75 in just 1 year. Fuck those cocksuckers. Good luck to you. Or, if you're rich and have a lawyer, please sue those mofos for false advertising.
