File Under: Is Fairpoint throttling down heavy users?
Since I've started using the Netflix streaming option on my xbox 360, I've noticed a curious thing. I will start out with great speed and video quality, then after an hour or so, I start having problems. Even though I have the 3mbps tier, I end up with the show stopping and a message telling me that my connection has slowed and they're adjusting the quality. This ends up happening a few times until I have unwatchable video. I couple this problem with the complaints I've been hearing from other heavy users and I start to see a pattern. I think that Fairpoint may be pulling a Comcast and restricting the bandwidth for heavy users. I could be wrong, but I am getting closer and closer to paying the extra $10/month for Time Warner to get the speed I need.

Fairpoint seriously sucks . . at least with Verizon they would take complaints seriously. Now if you ask what's going on and pinpoint a problem - and do everything they tell you to try - they still tell you it's on your end.
I never bought their line of BS about better service to begin with so am not surprised . . but didn't expect it to deteriorate.
Am also thinking about finding an alternative.
BTW . . it's not just a northern Maine issue . . know people in NH who are having problems with them as well.
It's happening because they don't like the content you choose to watch.
More nature shows and less slasher/left-liberal/softcore stuff and the speed should pick right up!
Stop peeking at my queue!
