Reply to comment by TruthHammerOfLiberty in [OC] Top 10 Fastest and Slowest Countries for Internet Speed in 2022 by PlasticWriter407

I used to pay for the 1g att stuff, never saw it get over 70m and usually averaged about 40m when tracking it. I sent in multiple service issue requests, they told me it was working as intended and there was something wrong on either my end or my tracker.

Downgraded my service to their 100m stuff, and I've seen no change in speeds, just a change on the bill.

Probably an issue with the complex. Some are just wired better and capable of transmitting that much data, others aren’t. Still a tech should be able to tell you if you’re even gonna get your money’s worth of that 1G plan.

never get att. Always have had problems with themm. I have the comcast xfi i pay 60 a month for and I get a "max" of 600mbps but i usually get over that ranging from 600-750. Crazy ive never had a cable company put me over what I pay for

Att and other isp companies will blatantly rip you off and throttle your speeds. If internet is important to you, it’s soooo worth it to live somewhere where you can get google fiber. I do, and truly do experience close to the advertised 1gb speeds

It's not that important to me really. I live on a farm on the outskirts of town so it wasn't till just 10 years ago we could get cable, but they've done all sorts of expansions around us and now I have some options. To me it was more about the attitude they had about saying it's my fault it's not faster.
