Comprehensive source for ISP "reviews" from traders
Anyone know if this exists?
I'm getting fed up with my ISP and it's time to switch. The most prevelant provider around here is Adelphia, but I'm wondering if we can't make a comprehensive list of how traders feel about their ISPs to use as a resource.
Check out this conversation:
Them: How do you like the T1? It is actually a pair of T1's so you should see performance approaching 3 Mbits most of the time.
Me: The T1 lines are great, but I was scolded during my first month here for taking advantage of the speeds (I limit mine to below 75 kb/s). It's a little frustrating to know you have the pipe, but not to be able to use it without having the connection cut off. I worry that using mainstream things like FTP, Bit Torrent and Newsgroups to share files (legally, nothing copywrited) will get me cut off again.
Them: Blah, blah, blah. If you can control bittorrent's bandwidth go for it. I'm not a big fan of bittorent because I believe it installs bundled spyware, but that's just my opinion.
Booo! How can they be so dumb?!?
