Well in her case, she has Consolidated Communications as the ISP which is a smaller regional phone company that only provided painfully slow DSL until 3 years ago. When her contract was up this year I tried to see if they could give us the same discount she had before since in the past, that was something they would do (I guess because they knew they only had DSL and could only compete on price), but they said no and the only promotion they had was if she upgraded her 50/50 service (which for her is plenty given that all the cameras I have there upload more than she downloads) to gigabit but it would require them to change the equipment and bring in a mesh router and move on to their “Fidium Service” which is I guess the new branding they have for fiber.
Even discounted, it would cost more than what she’s paying now and I didn’t want to go deal with the installer again so we’re sticking with what we have for now, but the writing is on the wall that they’re going to be changing people over to the new service one of these days anyway so at least this way I don’t have to keep buying new equipment or have compatibility issues for which my equipment gets blamed.
This is such BS. If the defense can’t tackle a running quarterback while they are still in bounds then what are we doing? Or is this just the NFL wanting to protect Mahomes.
