This is as a result of damaged fibre optic cables shared with TSTT at a critical part of the overseas broadband network in New Jersey, USA. TSTT wishes to assure customers that the company is doing everything possible to support the expediting of repairs and to minimise the inconvenience to customers in the interim.

You've got to be kidding....FLOW IS EXCELLENT IN ST. AUGUSTINE AREA & service is now for now.

In terms of greediness, no one can beat skinking fcuking TSTT !!

And in terms of employment practices, they only hire a certain race so fcuk them.

I suggest trying this app called namebench

It hunts down the fastest DNS servers available for your computer to use. namebench runs a fair and thorough benchmark using your web browser history, tcpdump output, or standardized datasets in order to provide an individualized recommendation. namebench is completely free and does not modify your system in any way. This project began as a 20% project at Google.

namebench runs on Mac OS X, Windows, and UNIX, and is available with a graphical user interface as well as a command-line interface.

How to change DNS Settings

Advanced Setup

Uncheck Enable Automatic Assigned DNS & then change the Primary DNS Server & the Secondary DNS Server to whatever is recommended.

Save & Reboot

My results were 28.6% faster than what I was using (Google's DNS)

Anyone notice a significant improvement in youtube vids? Connection maxing out, getting about 1.3mb/s periodically on HD vids.

The few areas with FTTH should be getting better internet packages.
