Damn I hate slow internet.


My dad has just got service for internet that provides him with 20m/sec. In the mid to late 90's I had DSL as it was first deployed in Nashville. 1.5m/sec and 2 static ip's. I don't remember the cost, I'm guessing $30. It has been a decade and where I live now all I can get is an advertised 1.5m/sec with a reality of .75m/sec.

I am so tired of this problem. The above image is after 5 mins of buffering the video. At 10 mins worth of buffering the buffer bar was at 6:44. Looks like it will take me 30minutes to watch a 10 minute 32 second video. Frontier should be ashamed to call this "High Speed"
