    I have never, since the install,  got consistent 25 up/3 down, and in general, I was in the neighborhood of 17/18 down, but recently, the speeds have dipped noticeably -- I wonder what happened. I can't believe beams are oversold, though I suppose they may be.  It's quite a puzzling thing.

      I just hope they are not adding to the issue by adding new customers onto known beams with issues.  That does no good-will to the new customer or existing.  They need to neutralize things and keep the ship afloat, fix the holes, show some improvements that the issue was fixed, then add more new folks.

       

      I sense that is not the case though meaning I see nothing or have heard anything like someone wanting to join and being turned away or added but warned of the major speed issues taking place.

        Genuinely think it's not really the number of people that's the problem. It's what a few people are trying to do that is clogging it up.
