    Speedtest

    I was wondering why my game play has been so crappy for a while. I found out they throttled my download speed. I really hate these people.

              True, but when I'm running I'll start and stop off and on the whole time. I'll start across a road and stop right in the middle for a second then it will put me back a few steps, then I take off again. Over and over.

              Just gets annoying.

                That's BS. Do you have any idea what your bandwidth usage is?
                Old school or the new, doesn't mean a thing if your heart's not true...

                  I dont know. I'm a daytrader but the data is purely data feed. No graphics or anything like that so not a lot of strain on anything.

                  From what I can tell, if I look at a lot of Youtube stuff or when I down load a patch like the other day, it triggers their software to throttle the connection.
                  I've complained but to no avail. It's all I can get where I am so I have no recourse.

                    Can you ask about getting a business line? They shouldn't throttle those, at least not with Comcast (who is known for some throttling...)

                      Wow Cobalt... thats horrible man.

                      I had better internet in Iraq than I do here... I had a 50mb line in Iraq (Comms guys get the hook up)... here its just a 10mb , but at least my latency isn't so bad when playing on Cain's servers.

                        Comcast is the worst... they throttle your connection and they put you on a 250gb cap. 250gb goes pretty quick when my wife watches netflix 24/7...

                          Not really, when you're dealing with wireless stuff, you're at the mercy of the demand in other places. So they cant guarantee me a constant speed. Hell they cant even guarantee the slow speeds much less the good ones. But they really dont have any infrastructure to offer more than sketchy service at best.

                              You guys dont understand. I live (temporarily) in the boonies. Good thing I'm on a hill, or I wouldnt even have this. No phone service for internet. No nothing.
