All them up say ur leaving them and they will do you a nice deal to stay. Trust me I got my ISP to pay for my whole package for 3 months (tv Internet and phone) by saying I wasn't happy with the constant connection drops.

My friend got upgraded from 20mb to 50mb connection for free for lifetime because he was receiving shitty connection on a daily basis.

You know a company has a monopoly when they can give you a window of 9:00 am to 9:00 pm. No one else can do that except cable, gas, electric, satellite and water companies. If I started a house cleaning business I couldn't say I'd be there at some point in a twelve hour window because the competition would crush me. But those guys have no competition and if you don't like how they do it, well you're shit out of luck.

Wow that sucks I get about 5\6mb during the peak hours but my bill is $127(£80) a month so yah lol

I'm pretty sure the smaller ISP could provide better service then ur currently receiving.

 

? There are no other ISPs in my area...

And are you talking Megabytes or Megabits?

Oh, it gets better. $55 a month.

Okay, here's the plan. We bolster another internet company to improve their speeds and connection, then we sneak into the company thats ripping you off with giant magnets and ruin everything there

Problem is, they are resellers. The actual ISP is somewhere else in the province (Toronto, I think)
