I currently have a 8mb line with Suddenlink (Lubbock, TX) which actually works pretty well surprisingly. I have to admit, my actual speeds are faster than what I'm paying for...I can download at 9mb a sec. So, do they limit bandwidth? I say this because the files that I am downloading (bittorrent) were going at nearly 200kbps when I reset my computer but then drastically dropped to about 20-30kbps. Not only that but my whole internet slows down to a near halt. It took my computer a whole 25 seconds just to get to the Yahoo! login screen! I mean, I guess I answered my own question...but if they in fact do limit bandwidth is this not something I can call and complain about? I mean, for all they know I could be downloading legal public access material...who are they to limit my bandwidth? Plus, like I said it limits my normal net usage too. Does anyone know whats going on and what I can do to fix this issue? It's just kind of upsetting to be paying $65 a month and not do what I want to do
