At&t should not be internet providers. I dont know how many of you americans here have been following the debates about net neutrality, but they (and other large companies) are just trying to find ways to make the standards even slower.
I remember the days of 56k (im not that old) and then cable modems and DSL. Then fibre came to us and was great. It's a sad state of affairs when the highest bidder can afford to have mediocre speeds, but in contrast seem lightning fast to the peasants. Soon we'll be paying the same for throttled speeds. It's not capitalism when established giants corner the market and then only compete with each other. Fucking disgusting.
