    Is anyone else noticing the slow down? My DSL line at home is delivering the speed they promise,
    but with huge gaps in time when nothing moves. Probably 20 seconds out of every minute.

    Verizon is even worse. With the gear I have onboard I was getting speeds of 12- 18 GB/sec depending on which modem I use. Now it ranges from 1.2 KBps to 1.1 Gbps on 4G. I am now at the dock in Rainier OR with 4 bars on 4G and 1.1???
    That is like an order of magnitude slow down! WTF?

    Who has the anwser?
    Conditioning for the wonderfulness of 5g?

    I’ve been getting major slow slowdowns or stoppages for weeks now. Not at work, but at home (Comcast) and on all our cells which include Sprint, version and t-mobile

    Providers want us to pay more for speed but slow down current rates to entice the ploy. I am tired of paying a second mortgage to these blood suckers.

    Your boy trump's net neutrality ban. Dems are trying to get a bill passed to put net neutrality back into force but then we have Moscow Mitch and trump in the way. Censorship will be next by these clowns.
