While this is ok for those people, what about everyone else who's having to pay out the ass for shitty internet? Its not fair plain and simple. People living in rural areas get horrible internet speeds. For instance, some people living in rural areas get 1MB or less. The speed is inconsistent and those people cant change internet companies because there ARE NO other internet companies. I think the internet companies should be held accountable for this kinda stuff. Its either put up with shitty service, or do without internet. And in today's world the internet is vital for a lot of people.

I totally agree with this, I grew up in a rural area and until recently my mother still had HughesNet an terrible services but it was the only she could get beyond dial-up. She now has dsl and it barely hits 1MB on a good day.

Yeah I know the feeling, That's what we get here, less than 1MB and calling the dsl company does NO good. So its either put up with shitty dsl service or have nothing at all.
