I pay 49.95 a month for 1MB/512KB.

 

Ya that is good download, but man that upload is real bad

yea its more the opposite

Yeah, I know I am getting reamed on the price.  The reason for the downgrade is that I moved from my apartment in Dallas to a suburb of Dallas, and this is the only company that provides broadband service to the complex besides DSL and I don't want a phone line. 

no im sure he means in general a 1mb cap is slow, which nowadays it is very slow.

im not saying anything that has to do with being close to his cap or not im saying in general his advertised speeds(49.95 a month for 1MB/512KB) compared to most rates and adv speeds is slow.

hes good on the download for his package, but with most cable co's the standard DL speed is 3/4/6 megs.  with verizon offering 15/2 for the same price it is slow by todays standards.
