Title: Should Tp4 cancel Gigabit ? (Update 3)
Post by: tp4tissue on Fri, 03 August 2018, 19:13:40

Update 3::

Back on Gigabit....

Sadness reduced....

Health Recovering....

/Resuming Tp4 services..

Honestly, 60mbit.18mbit wasn't that bad..  Twitch 1080p60 still worked..

Couldn't use torrents, guess that was the only major downside. now very behind..

Update 2::


Saw $100 gif card online promo w/ new gigabit service...

Foned in to nagg about not getting Gif card with my new service..

They offered a $15 discount for 12 months.. which is $180...

Now bill will be $64.99 vs original 79.99 for the first 12 months,

$79.99 for 12+ No-Contract

Dropping TV service.. Going to Gigabit only for $79.99..

Disconnection time between account activation 3 days..

Running on att tethered ifone LTE.. 

Current network .. 60 mbps down 18 mbps up.. 60ms ping

Tp4 feels weak.... 3 days... will Tp4 survive...

So.... gigabit is $79.99

500.500 is $74.99

300.300 is $59.99

100.100 is $39.99


The reason Tp is contemplating this is,, Realistically, Verizon throttles the upload speedy anyway, and you only get around 100-200mbps for torrent Seeding...

For Download speed,, Gigabit isn't a huge difference over 300mbps..


Thoughts ??

Depends on how much your downloading. If your constantly torrenting then you'd probably want to stay. If they're throttling the upload then I would drop to 100 or 300.

Get the cheaper package and then get a seedbox.

Go with whatever gets you the results you want at the cheapest price.

I'm still rather amused that my ISP has two speeds available for internet,symmetrical gigabit for $60 and 10 gigabit for $400.

Would recommend dial up. You know it's working because you can hear it.

Vtel in Vermont,when they got a large Federal grant they upgraded their entire network to fiber instead of pocketing it for executive bonuses like Verizon.

I guess I got lucky since I only pay $45/month for gigabit and no contract. I just have to put up with a flurry of letters and phone calls from my ISP trying to up sell me their special streaming service.

I need to keep calling and complain about random stuff until they give me $45.month
