Same happened to me too - this is the result of putting lots of customers all on 200 on a pipe which is tiny. Sell Sell Sell, invest invest invest (in shareholders pockets only)

Investigated? LOL

Tech support told me my area was fine and that my problem was my wireless. And then when I downgraded from 200 to 50 and went to 70 (which now gives me a whopping 19 from now until 3am) I was told that the SH could give me 70 even with a profile config of 50.

In short the tech support woman was as thick as pigs ****.
