So my internet's speed is really slow tonight. I keep on having error message every time I try to make comments. The browser usually times out. I hate how my internet service provider can't give us the right service for what we are paying for. The internet fee here is so high yet the speed is so slow. If only we have other choice.

@LdeL0318 Change to Globe. :) hahaha. Just kidding. My friends also uses the internet provider as you and they sometimes complain about the internet speed or sometimes they really don't have internet connections.

@JMAndres Globe doesn't have signal here.

We do have a vast amount of choice here in England, so as a result service providers cannot afford to supply a poor service.

@LdeL0318 This does constitute a problem because any realistic competition the company know that they can get away with offering poor services.

@Asylum That's true. There was a rumor that A major company from other country will be operating here but it seems there's no truth about it

We only have few choices within the country and here in my city I don't even have a choice since only one provider has a signal. It was very disappointing.

That is irritating. Is there another company you can go through that would? I am having some serious internet problems too. We get ZERO signal and I have been suffering through so far 3 (soon to be 4) technician visits to see if they can figure out what is going on with it. Irritating to not have what you once had. Grrr

As of now, my internet provider is the only choice I have. The other one has no signal here.

I don't know how much the others pay for their internet connection in their country... Here in the Philippines, I think it's almost $30 a month... I wonder how much they are paying for each month..

@LdeL0318 well... maybe if we pay double the price, we could get some of those perks and a good internet connection...

Gosh that is terrible. It seems to be a very common problem. Internet providers like to do a thing called "Throttle" which means they intentionally make everything slow so you can upgrade or things like that. it is so stupid.

That's true. I wonder why can't they give what we are paying for.

That's a great deal given that the internet speed is very fast. I am paying half of yours but for the internet connection alone, no phone or TV included. Plus the speed of the net is literally slow.
