Crookshanks join:2008-02-04 Northeast PA Reviews: ·Frontier Communi..	Or not buying the fastest available service. I know someone who subscribes to 768kbit/s DSL even though 15mbit/s cable is available at her address. She has a grandfathered deal ($20/mo) for the DSL, already does business with Verizon, doesn't do business with Time Warner, and primarily uses her connection for e-mail and staying current on the Facebook shenanigans of her grandchildren. No real reason for her to change her service, is there? Any other option increases her costs and provides a level of service that's overkill for her needs.

iansltx join:2007-02-19 Golden, CO kudos:2	reply to MonkeyLick78 Everyone is moving away from PB now. Comcast doesn't have a significant level of PB anymore on the high end of their tiers, and TWC doesn't use PB on their D3 tiers, nor does Charter.

You mean granny doesn't want to BitTorrent the latest movies before they are out on VOD on the TV. Someone should tell her to get with the times.

jjeffeory join:2002-12-04 USA	reply to MonkeyLick78 I agree with the spirit of what you're saying, but I think the results even out a bit because people often don't get the speed they pay for, they get less than they pay for.

Data behind the statement showing while this is true with some ISPs, there are ISPs giving the speed their customers pay for. »/r0/download/2···sion.jpg Verizon has a bit of a split personality, but gets credit for part of their ISP offering.
