I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem with the internet speeds during the day.
I had the 768 Kb/s internet from Claro when i first got here to this country, but then I started noticing that the internet during the day was very very slow. I was getting about 7KB/s download speeds that is 56K (you all remember the 56k modem days!), and at night EXACTLY at 11pm i was getting about ~96 KB/s which is the 768Kb/s that they advertise. I fought and I fought but everyone in the claro office looks at me like if I was speaking jibberish and had monkeys on my face. No one has any clue what a Bit and a Byte is, or what is an "acceptable" internet speed.
So, I decided to cut the service down to the bare minimum because whats the point of 768Kb/s if i cant use it when i need it during the day? right? I went all over the town looking for another internet alternative, Viva, but they need your first born child, some DNA from the loch ness monster, and a toe nail from Big Foot for you to be accepted by their credit standards...
Anyway sorry for the venting... but its been killing me... well my question is, is the internet throttled down here in this country during the hours of 8am - 11pm? <---- yes i have tested this. (using p2p exchange). If so, why ALL the way down to dial up speeds?
Thnx
