I've been annoyed at them countless times. And, I, too, hate the Dolans.

But, as a roaming PC pirate, I've had the chance to experience the speed and drawbacks of several of the internet carriers.

My buddy next door in Weehanken had FIOS which I thought would be faster. In peak demand it can be faster. But, just a tad.

Since each of us was convinced his was the worse ISP, we would race downloading the same movie. I usually KILLED his FIOS. Which meant I lost. The only times FIOS was faster was by a minute or so in peak. But, FIOS blows the doors off of Time Warner in Queens. Possibly because of demand.

Xfinity, which I have now, blows chunks. But, their slowest speed is UVerse's fastest. So, I'm stuck. But, they have promised faster speeds soon. I'm not holding my breath.
