    I don’t need faster internet. If they had a 2mbps connection for $15, I’d be happy.

    Instead, the slowest is 20mbps, for $70. To watch youtube. Wtf do I need all the extra speed for???

      You’re talking about the USA, not China. Internet costs in the PRC are much lower than the USA.

        Ok. Forget price. A 2mbps connection does just fine for watching youtube. What is a 50,000mbps connection going to do for me when my internet activity is so minimal?

          You don’t need to pose that question because you aren’t getting a 50,000mbps connection, as you’re not in China.

            You heard it here folks, you shouldn’t question something unless you are directly affected by it.

      You’re getting scammed by your ISP. That’s a terrible value. I bet they have a monopoly in your area too.

        Area? Try building. It’s written into the lease of the apartment. Even if you want NO internet, you still gotta pay.

      0.2 Mbps is sufficient to stream 1080p.

      Check your packet loss
