The need for speed

I subscribe to the 2mbps download and 513kbps upload package from TMNet. Well, today the connectivity is not bad at all .... Some people complain about TMnet streamyx being slow and down most of the time. They are partly right. At the office, the internet gets cut off every time it rains, or the connection is snail pace like a 9.6kbps modem. At home I rarely get service interruptions .... thank goodness!
