@GabeU come on man, you're better then that. I am not being a smart@ss at all, but in your own words..this is a tech support site and not a rant site, or a place to vent. There are channels and places to do so such as social media or even send that person a private message. Now, while I do agree with you to an extent, on your analogy of the whole bridge with too much traffic and cannot blame the architect that designed it, no you cannot blame the designers who came up with satellite based internet. But, you can punch a few holes in your theory. So, yeah there is a traffic jam, and that bridge can only hold or take on some many vehicles an hour. Can they make the traffic any less jammed up, sure. See, it then falls on the city and or state who owns that bridge to step in, and monitor and manage that traffic jam so to speak..and one way to do so is to stop allowing too many vehicles on that bridge, before it collapses. So, while this whole pandemic is somewhat at fault, it isn't fully at fault. One way to better manage their internet is to stop selling it to people each day, knowing that it cannot currently handle the load. See, your theory is all well and good man, and I do not disagree whole heartedly with it, nor with you. And while refusing to sell a service to someone sounds like it's not really the right thing to do, sometimes it's the only thing to do. Because at that point, you're selling a service you cannot supply fully, and or partially at most times. Let's say you pay me...$3000 a month for I dunno, let's say 60 bicycles, and I supply you with that for the first month or two, but then I take on 60 more customers with that same order and I get overwhelmed. Then I only supply you and my other paying customers with 5-6 a month, but you're still paying me each month for 60. Well, I just keep taking on more customers each month and I cannot supply anyone with the service I am supposed to, yet each day I tell a new customer or two that I can. That then becomes my fault, and my fault only. So, what I am getting at, is stop selling what you know you cannot provide "Right Now". When life gets back to normal, sure you can continue to add customers. But when there is that proverbial traffic jam, don't have the traffic cop out there sending more and more vehicles onto a bridge it cannot handle...
