I have Spectrum gigabit service. They decided to deploy gigabit in the wonkiest way possible so a normal DOCSIS compatible modem was unable to provide service, so for the first time in over a decade I’m renting the modem instead of having my own. I also pay an outrageous sum for the service.

But none of that is what bothers me. What bothers me is that they don’t even deliver on their promise. Most of the time I am silently downgraded to the “standard” high speed service which is 300mbps.

I’m usually not a fan of government intervention, but in the case of ISPs in the US, there’s a desperate need for more oversight.
