Every since Net Neutrality was repealed my internet has been acting up.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

    I hate ordering stuff online if I can go buy it somewhere close to me, and everywhere anymore will give you a discount only if you order it online, bs. Should be a discount if I go pick it up, not order online.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Mostly for big purchases, I want it in my hands before I pay. Like a tv, I trust picking it up myself, before I'd trust it being sent thru mail/delivery. (Broken screen, etc) But yea if I can order online, then pickup at store is ok, but not all places offer that.

    Thing is, if you break it driving back to your house, it's your fault. But if the delivery driver damages it, it's not your fault.
