    it was ridiculous EU gesture. what would be right IMO is that the state would own the lines and if companies coinvested they would get a discount in usage if they didnt' they would pay a lot for using the lines.
    could said isp charge other ISP for using there infrastructure

    I went to Airtel's office with the USB modem which I purchased on 2011. What they is told me is really strange. They told me that their 3G enabled sims do not work with dongles at the moment and I have to wait 2 months for that.

    I simply called up my cable operator yesterday and they just gave me the connection. This ISPs name is SITI Broadband. Both my local cable operator and SITI main office are very sincere. I got a call from SITI main office asking me if my connection is running okay about 10mins after the connection was made.

    This is a true unlimited plan. My plan is slow (512Kbps) but they they have high speed plans.

    They have not implemented any FUP in any of their plans.

    Good decision. You can't relax with a limited plan.

    I have comcast, and it is decent. I think its overpriced for the amount speed that I get, but then again they have a monopoly in my area so I can't do much!

    Yes, I am satisfied. I am fortunate enough to live in a country where the government has not been bought by the ISPs. I have a high speed fiber optic connection for a fraction of the price I would pay for a dial up in America.

    FIOS has never given me a problem. Charter used to jack up my rates every month...

    I'm satisfied now that I switched to Charter (something I said I'd never do because of their constant barrage of advertising). Had AT&T prior to that - the worst, most unstable service ever!

    yea that is annoying, get at least 4 calls a day of them wanting to sell us tv
    the worst part is if you want to say upgrade a service you cant use one of those callers to do it unless you also get a new service

    I would say that I'm in general satisfied with my ISP. I've subscribed about an year ago and there has been only a couple of outages in the connection. I pay for the lowest possible unlimited speed plan, which is 30Mbps upload/download. And frankly, I don't need that much speed. If there was a cheaper plan, I would have signed up for it, even for lower speed. My infrastructure at home is WiFi only, so I cannot fully utilize the the high speed that I have to my home...

    I use Comcast internet and am pretty happy, the cost is kind of high though. Their customer service is excellent and they have always fixed things in a very timely manner. The speed is great too!
