ISP agreements should specify the bandwidth of your connection. If you are paying for a broadband service that was advertised as 300 MB/s plus and you never get more than 80 MB/s+ when doing a speed test, then the provider is not living up to their end of the agreement. They should either fix it or refund and amend the agreement.

Whether they are not allocated enough bandwidth from the underlying network infrastructure should not be the customer's concern.

Will the speed and stability of my internet connection suddenly not suck because of this? Will the price of my internet and telephone become competitive with services offered off-post? Will the twits running the LG DACOM stand at the PX now suddenly know something about the services that they’re selling?

If you're at Osan, then I *think* you can partially blame the base network infrastructure for some of the problems. While I was there, I was told that the fiber and copper run through the equipment used by the 51st and, the 51st only allocated so much bandwidth for SSRT. If true, there's another implication in this; even though you're using a "commercial" service, Big Brother can (and probably does) monitor what sites you visit since you're technically using government lines and equipment. As for the twits behind the counter, they've been twits as long as I've been here, even back during the days when they were in the old minimall.

It just makes you wonder why it took so long for someone to figure this out?

Had to allow enough time for people involved to PCS out or retire.
