Reviewing my account with Speakeasy, I realize I am paying more than $50/month for a 1.5/384k connection. (Wow, I must have really hated Comcast đŸ˜‰ )
And lately, Speakeasy hasn’t even been that good. This is a test with their server in Seattle.
And one to Atlanta:
Not exactly brisk.
It’s all very well to say that Qwest or other providers are worse because of their poor service. I hate to ask “how bad can it be?”
This is a bit less for a lot more: I’ll take the same fraction of that service for the price they’re asking.
What to do? An unemployable guy like me doesn’t have money to waste on this stuff. But is my time spent wrestling with the telco worth nothing? I have to say that Speakeasy has been pretty easy to work with: even the recent issue didn’t effect my service, just my impression of their business.
Advice welcome: any satisfied customers of the faceless telcos out there?
This doesn’t look too helpful, either.
896k upload speed? That’s better than my current download speed.
