    it's still fine for web browsing and streaming videos (at the lowest quality possible), but not for much else.

    Bro, that is awful. I constantly am talking to my dad about getting better internet. He is stubborn as all hell though.

    How do you deal with such terrible internet?

    yea, i know right! but i suppose the reason it's so cheap is because it's only $20 a month. i was thinking about upgrading as well, but this is all i can afford at the moment. this internet is really bad compared to other people's internet, i can't play many online games or stream videos at anything above the minimum settings (well i can, but it would have to pause so many times -_- ). after dealing with it this long, i suppose i've just learned to live with it.

    I got through to my dad when Netflix continously buffered, so he decided to get us Time Warner Cable cause U-verse wanted $250 in installation fees if we just got internet.

    Likewise, its just annoying because I could get so much stuff done if I had better internet.

    Why is it that some people who are never going to use even 10% of their internet potential have really freaking good internet speeds? This is madness.

    I use mine, along with my parents. Probably me the most due to all the uploading I do.

    Well, we got a nice package because we signed up for Verizon when they first entered the area. I do a lot of uploading for this site, and all of our television service is now through Hulu, so we definitely get our money's worth, haha. But yeah, as I said, most of the general public does not need speeds that are that fast.
