    Who is your internet provider? Are you satisfied with them, in terms of your internet's speed and stability? Why or why not? Would you ever consider switching providers?

    My provider is called Zeelandnet. I'm pretty satisfied with the internet speed and stuff that they give, although they do have problems quite often, but I can't switch anyway so I just gotta deal with it xD

    My internet provider is called Sky Broadband (Nope, not the European one. I meant the Filipino one). I am NOT satisfied with it at all. I mean, who would be satisfied with 3 mbps anyway? I can't exactly complain to them though because there are way more Filipino internet providers who give you less than 1 mbps.

    What really bums me though is how other countries are getting 20+ mbps for the same price I'm paying. Well, they do have an offer for upgrading your internet speed to 20+ mbps. But it costs $450. FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS. Yeaah, total rip-off. That's life here in my country haha

    [​IMG] - Also known as British Telecom. Despite living in the middle of rural nowhere, we still get Fibre Optic internet! So, I'm running an awesome High-speed Fibre connection, and I'm really happy with it! I've always had a perfect connection (Apart from when I tried to mess around with the router settings! :P), so I have no reason to dislike it! :D

    My internet provider is just Comcast.. Not any of these fancy foreign companies...
    It gives me great speed, but my household uses so much Internet every period that it occasionally shuts off. I'm mostly to blame for that amount of internet data usage.... Thank Arceus it's a flat rate!

    I have Time Warner Cable. I currently have a love-hate relationship with them. Their speeds are amazing and I can navigate the net just fine. I just despise the random timeouts that I have to deal with every now and then.

    We have AT&T and for the most part it's...eh, okay? We had Comcast before this which I never thought I'd say this, but I want it back. It gave a better connection. At&T, at least for us, sometimes can barely load a minute long video, or takes forever to load pages. Ugh.

    I have Verizon FiOS and yes, I'm quite satisfied with the experience. Not ever going to complain about 55/download and 60/upload speed, nope~ it's higher than pretty much anyone I know. Too bad we don't have Google Fiber here. D:

    A shady one called Primus. It's DSL and we get only like 1mpbs and it craps out often lol. It's not worth what we pay but we get unlimited downloads. Nearly all companies here cap your downloads and charge like $2 for every megabyte over, yes, megabyte.
    Canada is one of the most expensive countries for internet, with the shittiest service. There isn't even fibre optics here.

    I use CenturyLink. The surfing speed is pretty fast, download speeds are decent, but upload speeds are meh. They have different plans to get up to 40mbps, but unfortunately, I'm not currently in charge of the internet bill. I'm just waiting for that gigabit internet to reach my area. Comcast has been ridiculing CenturyLink for all these years, and now they're eating their words, because that "inferior" DSL service just beat you to gigabit speeds.
