$70/ month

Can't complain. No data cap

Is it legal to not give advertised speeds? I get around the speed that is advertised (20mbps down 6mbps up) sometimes more, sometimes less, but not much.

That's what you get when you download over 1TB of Chinese cartoons every month.

>>62401152
It shouldn't be, I know that much. (FYI, initial screenshot is of the largest Canadian network, so legality here might not be the same as what you're used to in freedomland or wherever you are.)

>>62401148
They all have clauses saying speeds are UP to a certain point.

I technically pay for up to 940/880mbps and I generally see that. >>62401114
But others I know with my ISP and same speed tier only get ~800-850mbps

>>62401170
fuck, quoted the wrong comment.

it's legal if they claim that the issue is just circumstantial issues, like congestion. i don't know if it's illegal if they know their infrastructure can't provide the speed they're offering, but you have to keep in mind that you signed a contract that was probably several pages long, and it's entirely possible that the language in that contract guaranteed that you'd get a MODEM that supports 20/6, but made no promises or even assurances about the actual speeds you might expect to see.

basically, chances are poor that you'll have any recourse

>>62400856
>knowingly signing contract with Bhell

You deserve it.

>speeds in the hundreds on a school-run network
how? just how?

>>62401340
I wasn't responsible for the ISP choice and I can't change it. Would probably use teksavvy (hell, I'd even resort to cogeco) if I could

>>62401351
it's stanford. does the fact that they spoil us honestly surprise anyone outside of the bubble?

OP Here, speeds have suddenly moderately improved. Hmmmm

I get 100Mbit down/40Mbit up through a 50 year old phone line

>>62401181
This is almost certainly due to their router, network card, or even the damn cable.

>>62401340
>>62401372
All the third parties are forced to use their lines anyway. You'd probably just end up with even lower speeds as I wouldn't be surprised if they prioritized for their own traffic.

>>62401487
Nah it's likely congestion on the GPON. Some area are apparently still using 16:1 splits on 2.4/1.2gbps total bandwidth.

So if you hand multiple 1gbps customers on that 16:1 split you can run into potential congestion issues.

The ISPs router does 900mbps WAN/LAN throughput so the only real potential bottleneck is Ethernet cable or NIC and most Intel NICs paired with a somewhat recent CPU can handle 900mbps.

>>62401396
But, aren't you paying $30,000 per semester for that privilege?

That's some expensive Internet.

$80 for up to 75 Mbps down, 5 Mbps up.
Uploading speed reaches what was promised, but download speed is pathetic.

phd students get paid to be here. not nearly as much as we COULD be making, but rent is also about half or 40% of market rates, and chances are if you're going for a phd it's not because of the promise of fortunes.
