Ohh we see that now as well. Customer with a 6 meg package calls in, "Yea
the net is slow I'm not getting my bandwidth" I go look at they have a
constant traffic stream of 5.8 meg day in and day out for months. I ask, do
you have young kids at home? "yup, but all they are doing is watching
netflix cartoons, and my wife just watch's stuff on her ipad shouldn't use
that much bandwidth." What will it take to teach customers that its not 6
meg PER DEVICE.. lol
