• What is the Crappiest Internet Provider (In your opinion)

I Will start. Frontier. Because 60% of the day my internet is either 3 or 2 or even 1 bar. I VERY. [B]VERY[/B] Rarely get 4 bars. Trust me you don't want three it sucks. Videos Freeze every 3 seconds. They also lag. You get auto-kicked out for connection problems on Online games almost all the time. And ECT. ECT.
I used to think Charter, then I signed up for Time Warner and they went way to the top of my list. Then Charter bought Time Warner so I guess Charter is in my opinion the worst cable provider ever.
Here in the Great White North, we have two providers, Rogers and Bell, and they're both so terrible I can't rank one above the other.
Comcast isn't usually that bad, but their customer service tends to be absolutely braindead (on [I]purpose[/I]), has a [I]huge[/I] lobbying influence in American politics and net neutrality, and sometimes they will push the envelope on bottlenecking speeds for no apparent reason (except for the $$$$). Comcast tends to be the best ISP in the US usually (speed-wise), but it's like you're signing off a deal with the devil to fuck you over later on.
Australia is the shittiest ISP.
TalkTalk in the uk tbh

I just dislike their peering. I vote HughesNet as being the shittiest ISP in the US. What a crap business model.
It's nice to hear all these replies from people! I Like how you can just sit down and start talking about WIFI. then it turns into a big conversation with people talking about Shitty Internet providers. I LOVE IT!
[QUOTE=Burre.png;52342278]HughesNet. It's pretty much a legal scam.[/QUOTE] i see them on tv like 99% of the time
I don't actually have many issues in the particular area that I'm in so hey fuck yeah
[QUOTE=HollaBoys23;52343335]i see them on tv like 99% of the time[/QUOTE] True dat. What liars. I Hear a lot of people say they are absolute SHIT providers of the interwebs. Talking about Hughesnet BTW.
Here in the middle of nowhere, I have to use AT&T U-Verse. Shitty download, shitty upload, and the service goes down pretty often. It used to be a lot more reliable, but for the past few months it seems to go down at least once a day for an hour or more. At least I have good ping for online games. Time Warner is basically the only other ISP in the area.
Small local ones aside, I'd say AT&T has to be the worst. I've had Time Warner, Charter, AT&T, CenturyLink, and Comcast and AT&T takes the cake. But a lot of it just has to do with how oversubbed they are in your area and what the state of the infrastructure is. Ones that use VDSL like AT&T tend to get hit the hardest with bad infrastructure.
Vodafone here used to be absolute garbage, however they seem to be okay these days. I'm on unlimited VDSL and it works and rarely drops out, however their tech support is literally the least helpful I've ever seen. I don't think they actually know how to solve problems, they are just taught to tell you that they've fixed things without actually changing anything for the placebo effect or something.
ATT, because they refuse to replace some forty year old copper phone lines that cant deal with modern dsl.

Are you forgetting about Telus and Shaw? Those are the big 4. Telus is the worst out of the 4 by far.
Dish Internet was total shit. Comcast may be a mega company hell bent on taking over the world but they still have decent internet speeds, and no weather interruptions.
All of them. FUCK ISPS. Fucking money grubbing whores is what they all are. :conspiratard:
