Most of the ISPs operating in my city’s fiber network are reasonably good and the one I’ve chosen is honestly good, so from my personal point-of-view, that headline seems perfectly relatable.
Are ISPs transitioning to comedy now?
They’ve always been a joke
The reason i don’t switch is because the price is fair enough and i have less connection issues compared the all the others we have available.
Welp, the gig is up. After all of these years we’ve been publicly pretending otherwise… these companies have finally seen through our charade. We no longer need to excitedly whisper to eachother in basements and bars, and other locals in the shadows, tales of how our local Internet service providers always go above and beyond for each and every one of us. Now they know we think of them not only as a part of our family, but also as one of our children, as kin, and with more esteem than our elders. Truly we are a blessed people. The future is bright my brothers, we can now rejoice openly in the sun the ISPs shine down unto us.
The reason I haven’t switched is because I have no real alternatives. I could try a wireless service, but it would likely be a downgrade as signal is not the greatest in my area.
lol
I’m gonna have to sue whoever said that to deal with the whiplash from my doubletake
The only reason I take their customer service up my ass is because it always sucks no matter what ISP I use.
The only reason I do it is because I have no other choice. For me it’s either suffering with Comcast or using extremely shitty DSL (which is too slow for me to do my job properly). I live in a suburban area, but for some reason, my neighborhood has only one high speed option. And I know there are plenty of other people all over the country in the same predicament.
In Algeria no one switches because there’s only one ISP.
Customers must be very happy!
I live where there’s 1 isp and 10 mobile/satellite providers
For me, it’s the price, and effort involved with researching cheaper/better providers. Maybe once a year I’ll look at competitors. If ISP raise price, that’s when I more seriously look at competitors.
Not in NYC. Spectrum is my only option and they are flaky as hell
File fcc complaint.
I’m sure the new orange flavored head will get right on it
Hahahahahaha.
Fuck. It’s so fake it makes me feel sick, I hate large corporations, especially ones with monopolies. It’s disgusting.
shoutout to Andrews & Arnold, best ISP in the uk. I called to stop using them because I was leaving the country forever and they were like “good, what else do you want?” MFs gave zero shits and gave great high speed service.
