Naraku4656 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 i'm trying to lower the cost of my internet bill by lowering the speed to the next lower level. but apparently doing that would actually raise my bill. the only way i could do it is if i lowered it to the lowest level which is 5Mbps instead of what i have now which is about 5MBps. it would cut my bill by $20 a month and i'm seriously thinking of doing it but idk how long i can stand that speed before i want to jump out of a window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAC Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Better off going to another provider if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarPanda Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 5mbps Isn't so bad you can stream well on that and I internet connection is pretty stable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I've always had better luck with local providers than with cable companies. seems like I tend to have fewer outages and a more consistent connection with local providers. Cable seemed to fluctuate greatly speedwise, and went out a lot. The local provider I'm using now doesn't quite hit the highs that the cable did, but the highs never stayed high for long before the speed would tank again or crash altogether. It's just a consistent, reliable, connection. It's not spectacular. But I know what it can do and it does just that. It'd be nice to have something much faster for downloads. But what I have works well enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
