How old is this data? ATT ate Bellsouth a _long_ time ago. I ought to know because I was a Bellsouth customer.
when considering NetFlix at $40/share. Who knew they would change their model to streaming and that the bandwidth was there? Right about the same time Comcast banned me for excessive downloads.
Something still doesn’t add up.
deowll said in #1, “how old is this data?”
Since the dates are given along the x-axis, I really think that someone replied before actually looking at the chart.
Yet another example of not letting the facts get in the way of your opinion.
Bobo said in #2, “ComCast banned me for excessive downloads?”
Maybe they just don’t like you.
My ISP is Roadrunner and isn’t on the list so I ran a traceroute to Netflix and it looks like Comcast is carrying the signal.
this is some mighty old data… therer is no way in hell that windstream is faster overall than at&t, i’ve been on windstreams networks they are funky slow as could be in my area..
here is the great big lie about data providers. long ago they put in fiber, with lots of dark fiber present. (yeah remember dark fiber??) there is so much bandwidth in fiber is it almost unreal.
dont get fooled by and of these greedy dickwad isp’s they are trying to screw the consumer over.. every year it gets cheaper and cheaper to move data across the net.
they are simply greedy sob’s
Can this be true? Cable is only spitting out 2 or 3 Mbps? I’ve never had cable internet. Always DSL or satellite. But I thought cable was supposed to be greased electrons!
I’m going to stop complaining about my 4 Mbps DSL in Thailand.
Funny how the Canadian graph isn’t showing the FiberOp service that Bell/Aliant is offering in Atlantic Canada. I’m currently getting 70mpbs up and 15 down.
You must remember when looking at this data that AT&T and Verizon appear so low on the list becuase they have both high speed and low speed customers. Therefore those numbers get averaged in a chart like this.
For example consider an AT&T customer that is on DSL at 512kbps and another AT&T customer on U-Verse at 12Mbps. These two people are going to have completly different experiences. However when aggregating data for this chart they are going into the same categorey — an AT&T customer.
Now take a Comcast customer — all of which are using cable. It makes sense that the Comcast number, or all cable providers for that matter, would be higher than the telcoms.
The Internet is only as fast as the server that’s serving it up. I have 40mbps down and my speed is all over the place.
Charter Communications for the Win!
#4: Roadrunner is simply a brand name. Your actual ISP is Time Warner.
For confused foreigners, Netflix is a company in America that rents movies to watch over the internet. People pay Netflix to watch movies, and separately pay an Internet Service Provider (ISP) for access to high speed internet. Netflix does not make movies. Netflix does not run the internet. Netflix does not provide access to high speed broadband to peoples homes.
However, there are many applications for recycled tires.
Dogs are extremely social creatures and rather than be placed in the back of your yard, you might consider close to a backdoor, a side yard or
the front yard. Remember, regardless of being mast or rooftop mounted, it is
essential to check the available wind in your chosen location.
