Its called the cable Lobby Spy. They have bought off all the politicians because that is what Lobby's do with the crooks of the country. If you try to get fiber optics in your area the cable companies tie you up in court. They have even gotten laws past in some states forbidding anyone to try to speed things up. Its just the daily operations of our corrrupt country.

I have verizon and was paying for their top internet connection, a friend of mine in the business told me their was no difference in a lower priced connection they offered. I tryed it and could not tell the difference. I think your computer has allot to do with the speed . I have found that when they tell you that a certain connection is this much faster than another is BS. I have people calling and telling me they are going to make my computer faster if I change. I don't see how I can get any faster.
