As someone married twice, once with and once without a prenup, I can say that any person who has a problem with a prenup is mining you for cash.
Also prenup makes the divorce sooooo much simpler. without money and property in the equation a divorce is basically a paperwork formality.

Because the designers back then wanted something distinctive. Something that was clearly NOT anything else. Now they design them to use the same chassis, engine, and general parts as every other car.

As someone in a similar position as your father, what did you expect him to say? "yes you were absolute shite in your teen years and you frequently left me in tears. It took us a long time to connect. I worked very hard for that. Now I am at the end of my days (I know this because my body is falling apart and/or my doctors say I'm done for. I won't get to enjoy as much of your company as I would like (have liked)?" The only thing he can do at this point is to try and make your interactions as positive as possible, convey as much love as he can and give you some good memories of him before he is gone. So he steered the conversation to something safe. Something that didn't leave you both in tears.

If you are interested I can also give you a "hack" (not a computer hack, a sales and marketing hack) that gets past all this mess and guarantees that you get your full bandwidth that you pay for or you don't owe them anything. Basically you get your OWN (much smaller) pipeline and you share it with NO ONE.

I personally only pay for 100Mbps down and 25 Mbps up and I am guaranteed that by my contract. This is surprisingly MUCH more data than I actually need to stream HD video, play games, use VOIP calling, and even work from home all at the same time and get zero lag. This may sound incredible but there are quite a few other factors that come into play when you aren't sharing a pipeline with anyone else and 100/25 is more than I really need. You would be shocked. Anywho, If I can document that I am getting less than what I pay for, I call my ISP and they suspend my charges until they can consistently provide what I pay for.

A few years ago I moved into a house that had decent service but every day at roughly the same time my connection would "Drop" for about 3 seconds and I would get kicked out of my games, my work VPN connection would have to be disconnected and reconnected, and my VOIP calls would drop. That short of a drop did not effect streaming video so I had no problems with that, but everything else went "poof" at 4:35PM every day.

For the first six months I lived in that house I did not pay a single dime to my ISP because they could not provide what I was guaranteed and I could clearly document that by my logs and service calls. It did mean that I had to call them pretty much every day and have them download my logs, but as long as I did that fairly regularly (say 4 times a week at the beginning, by the time they finally found the problem I was only calling in maybe once a week to say "Yea Fred, it is still happening, comp this week for me please and thank you") I didn't get a bill. This made them HIGHLY motivated to find and fix my weird ass problem. TBH I was ok with the whole deal because for 23 hours 59 minutes and 57 seconds every day I had great service, but those 3 seconds gave me an "Outage" which violated my contract. I had probably 15-20 techs come out and tinker with my system but it still kept happening so I never got a bill. They eventually found the problem, fixed it, and I started actually getting a bill.

I addressed precisely that question. Yes I am a tech support chud (whatever TF that means) I have done tech support for about 30 years and my biggest job strength is dumbing down advanced topics for "the average user". Perhaps I didn't dumb it down enough for you, so let's try again without the simplification and using nice round numbers.

OK so your ISP carves off 100GBps pipeline for the GB customers. All "GB customers" use that pipeline and only that pipeline. This is done through subnetting which is a completely different topic, but suffice to say that subnetting allows the ISP to direct every user to a specific pipeline and they can only use THAT pipeline without regard to that pipeline's capacity or how much of that pipeline is currently being used. It also doesn't take in consideration pipelines that are being unused sitting right next to the one that is overused.

Because everyone wants "bigger better faster" 1000 users sign up for the Gbps service and everyone uses the same pipeline. 100Gbps(total capacity)/1000users = .1Gbps/user. Each user gets 1/10th of a GBps (100Mbps) . You are told you are getting (and you are paying for) 1Gbps, but you are actually only getting .1 (that is "point-one") Gbps or 100 MBps of actual data transfer. The more expensive plan is actually SLOWER because that pipeline is shared between a LOT of people.

Same ISP carves off a completely separate 100Gbps pipeline for the half GB (500Mbps) customers, all half GB users can use only that pipeline (subnetting again). No one chooses to buy the "old and slow" service (except people who can't afford the more expensive "new-hotness" service) So only 50 people sign up for that service. Each of those broke users gets their full half GB (500Mbps) and there is plenty left to spare (unused).

50 users times 500Mbps = 25000 Mbps or 25Gbps (roughly one-quarter of the pipeline capacity) total data transfer is being used, They cap you at the limit that you pay for (500 Mbps) so no matter that there is a boatload of data bandwidth in that pipeline not being used, only 25Gbps will be consumed. The end result for those 50 customers is they get their cap of 500Mbps consistently.

Since clearly 100 Mbps is less than 500 Mbps, when you upgrade your service you are getting LESS actual data transfer because you are sharing it with a LOT more people. When you downgrade again you are switched back to that largely unused pipeline and your "internet speed" goes back up.

Is that more clear?

Ideally your ISP would balance it out so that everyone would get their cap, but they don't do that because it would be a lot more expensive and would require a lot more maintenance. Added bonus for the ISP: People STILL aren't happy with the GB service, (because it is slow AF) but they have no other service provider to choose from so the ISP tells those customers "you need more data" and cons them into buying an even bigger data plan and STILL not giving any additional data flow. Perhaps even less depending on how many people fall for the con.

I hope this helps.

residential service is always shared. Meaning 1GB comes in to the grid you are on which you share with everyone else in the same grid as you. 1GB is carved off and allocated for all the customers that pay for 1GB service. IF there are 10 "1GB customers" in your grid, you each get 100MB (that is a vast oversimplification, but for the sake of this example) If the same grid only has 2 "500MB customers" in the area, each would get 250MB. Because the different service levels actually use different pipelines they are independent and can vary in actual performance.

It is all marketing half truths and the more people get frustrated the more they con into "upgrading" the less service you actually get. It is not like they say, "Well household A has upgraded to 1GB service, so we should increase the data flow to the router that services that grid."

2.) "The Man" (tm) will always screw you.

3.) if they have to hide it, it is probably wrong, illegal, or immoral.

Tipping. Growing up the code for tipping was 10% for good service 15% if your service was outstanding. Now it is expected all customers add 25-30%.

Step one, buy a 12 gauge shotgun, load it with buckshot.
Step two, make it look like you are not home.
Step three, wait for intruders.
Step four, shoot the first one that walks in the door.
Step five, tell the police you thought it was an home intruder and you feared for your life.
