Why is an isp ( Internet service provider ) when?

1 MB is the burstable speed.

When you download a file, it probably downloads at 1MB/s then drops..

It helps Youtube videos buffer fast, so you can watch them instantly.

Hence why download managers download in 'parts', so that bursted speed can come out and just burst everything. They trick the ISP, thinking it's different downloads, but it really is not.

In the night, you can game?

You sound like you have Cable.

In the afternoon, everyone is watching cable TV. So, that makes it slower for you.

If they increase, they will oversell like Verizon did with their data. It only took them 2 months to get rid of unlimited data.. AT&T took like 3 years. Go AT&T!

But, if they pay 50$ for 2GB of data, and you have a plan for unlimited data, for 50$. Think about that.

You download 4GB.. for $50 you pay Verizon.

WELL, they are paying $50 for 2GB. So, they paid $100 for 4GB, while you paid them $50 for 4GB.

So, that extra $50 Verizon had to use, came from their profits.

You need a new ISP man. $55 for 1mb/s is ridiculous. I pay $60 or $65 and get 30mb/s. Also, 1mb/s is no longer even considered fast. You need to find at least 10-12 mb/s service.

r u serious? trying to game with 1 meg service?

To get better bandwidth you probably have to pay more ;_;

ISPs never give the advertised amount of bandwidth
