So I upgraded my inet to 250 mbps a few days ago. When I do a speed test it only gets up to 35 mbps. Nice one Xfinity.
When I upgraded like that I wasn't getting the right speeds either. Turns out it was the modem that I was renting at the time. It could only support docsis 2.0 and it needed docsis 3.0.

I do have 93, but some of those are used cars and plumbing. Not too many though.

I've tried every method and have reverted back to PC at 550ms.. seems like i get the most from that. Still can't cap tho lol
Wish I could use PC. My laptop broke so I'm using a shitty HP which is probably why I'm not catching much. I feel like using PC would break this thing lol

It's not Amazon's fault the government finds ways to steal from your same dollar over & over...
They just raised the gas tax here in NJ by 23 cents a gallon, and their "fair" exchange is that they're lowering the sales tax by 1% from 7% to 6%. Our governor was on the radio saying how this is going to save people so much money. I calculated it for how much I drive (and I get great gas mileage and don't drive too much; most people here are buying more gallons of gas per year than I am), and I have to spend $10,000 on sales taxable items to save the equivalent of the extra tax I'm now paying for gas. Even if I had that much money leftover after paying income tax and student loans, I definitely would be saving it, not buying random crap with it...

I have as well. I find just regular 980 timer on Panda mode with stop auto slow down is the only watch I can catch a decent amount lately.

No, they never did before ( well on Amazon) they started collecting tax on Jan. 1st
I don't mean requiring the vendor to collect it, I meant don't you have to pay for it when you do your taxes anyway? In NJ, only vendors with a physical presence in NJ have to collect sales tax from us. but on our tax forms, there's a part that asks about online purchases from out of state vendors that didn't collect tax from us. We still have to pay the sales tax on all online purchases, it's just the ones with a physical presence in NJ collect the tax for us, while we have to directly pay the taxes for all the other sites.

Anyway, Amazon started collecting tax from NJ customers a few years ago, but I found the benefits of having a warehouse in NJ outweigh the tax "con" (again, you have to pay the tax anyway, it's just Amazon now collects it for us). but I found I can get tons of items with same day or next day shipping for free if it's in the NJ warehouse. There are still some things Amazon doesn't collect sales tax for, and they're usually the stuff that takes longer to get to me because they're not coming from the NJ warehouse, I'm assuming. Or they're from a third party seller. I haven't looked into it too much, I just know sometimes they don't collect tax from me and other times they do, but when they do, it's usually here within 24 hours.
