Slow ISP

This is what to expect when you have a wireless internet service provider (Digis) that promises its customers 7.0Mb/s speeds.

Grade should be "C+" to "B+" but "F-".......how does this work?

Here's mine Badoosh....but I think the problem is how many ISP's to go through first.
I have to go through 12 before getting our server loaded.
The game is half over before I load the map.
Any thoughts???

Thats mine.

And listen.  Those wireless companies are typicalbait and switch tactics.  I had Clearwire(aka Clear).  They promised me better than cable speeds, unlimited data, no caps,low price.  Worked fine then they upped my price, and fed me somegarbage about tower algorithms that adjust speeds for customers during high traffic time.  Its all crap if you ask me.  I just had a HUGE battle with them, and there are numerous BBB complaints.  I even filled an FCC complaint.

Good luck but all i can tell you from my experience with a similar company is GET OUT.

Also, BF3 played WAY WAY better for me when i upgraded my internet.  I could play, dont get me wrong, but it crashed a lot.  Hope that helps.

thats site has numerous storied detailingwhat these types of companies do.  Sorry for the name, but i feel like Badoosh should know.

Here is mine (I have 2 apartments, so a fiber line for each)

Line 1: $12 a month
Line 2: $10 a month

No per month limit, no throttling.

Yes, those were national tests, here is one spanning multiple countries over a thousand miles:

I would have to pay Comcast literally 500k just to route a fiber line to my house from the city and if I even were to offer that much they wouldn't do it anyways!

Here is my test to Amsterdam
