Every since Net Neutrality was repealed my internet has been acting up.

My internet has gone even more to shit than usual lately. Not to mention, the day after the initial net neutrality vote finished, my internet and phone went out completely for 16 hours. That's actually quite common (thanks CenturyLink), but the cell tower nearest me went down too for a few hours. The timing had me shitting bricks. And ever since that happened, I haven't reached my full speed of 768k. I'm lucky if I get 200k.
A lack of net neutrality, best I can tell, is fucking me over before it's even become a real issue.

Looks like your ISP is doing large infrastructure changes to most likely take advantage of the new freedoms they've been given. You might wanna start using a VPN pretty soon so that you don't get things like BitTorrent and Tor throttled.

It seems like exactly that has already happened. Wish I could afford a half-decent VPN :mellow:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I thought about that and I have blank DVD's and Blurays but honestly after like 90 songs I just listen to it a couple of hundred times toss it out and burn something else or have like 2-3 CD's. Florida here the heat in the car tends to ruin the CD's after like a few months even commercial pressed ones don't last too long.
