I moved into this apartment while my house is being built. I just got my computer back online and my max dl speed is 70kb/sec. this totally blows!

time to try out the upload speeds, i am scared it is going to be very slow indeed. GGRRR

whos your isp?

lagwagon · 08-05-2004, 11:44 PM

convergent broadband communications now. well at least it is only going to be for a few more months.

brand0n · 08-05-2004, 11:46 PM

call there service area right now. tell them this is not going to fly and you have no probs changing service. you feel there is no reason for you to be billed for this current month due to the fact that this "broad band" isnt so broad. you need a tech to come out and trouble shoot your connection there to find out wtf is going on.

be sure to use the wtf and see if they notice.

Ive talked to a cable company around here and they wont install in some apartments because the attenuation is far to bad. They have it going through so many splitters its funny.
