I've seen a big uptick in traffic over the last 2 or 3 weeks. Aren't
major sports starting up again? I'm guessing all the people who
switched to streaming only over the summer are now streaming the sports.
I've been dealing with one guy, he is on our lowest plan, and keeps
complaining that his sports are pixelated. And he's just gotta have
sports and just doesn't understand why it's not working perfect on his
4k TV. I can see he's maxed the connection 'My speed test is only
0.25mb and nothing in the house is running now, `still maxed traffic`,
well the TV is on' I'm guessing that the Variable bitrate codecs takes
more for sports than normal TV. I told him to upgrade his package, he
said he didn't want to spend any more money on Internet. He's on Hulu +
live TV + Sports, so that's already costing him more than what he's
paying us, probably close to what satellite costs. Then He wanted to
know what TV to buy to make it stream better, I told him that wouldn't
help. Then he wanted to know what WIFI extender to buy to make it
stream better, I told him that wouldn't help. But he's claims he is on
a tight budget and can't afford any more for internet. I told him to
put up an Antenna 'But then I can't get the sportsnet channel' I told
him to go find a new provider and stop calling me then. 'But I don't
like Comcast...' Tough, but I'm not talking to you anymore if you're
complaining about streaming. Priorities people have....
