How much do you guys pay for internet out of curiosity guys?

Everyone seems to pay so much. We get 50Mb/s download and 5Mb/s upload for $25 dollars a month. You're really not getting your worth imo O_o

MB means megabyte and lower case mb means megabit. The website you linked says you get 15 megaBITs per second. You're getting 1.6 MBps (megabytes) = 12.8mbps (megaBITS) per second which is close to what they said you would get.

Wow, I pay more than twice what you do for 18 down and 2.5 up. :/ Like the other guy asked, I assume that is capped though so I guess that is the downside.

As for the OP

Just call your ISP tech support and check it out with them. They will do some speedtests with you and compare with your sync, if you are indeed getting slowspeed they will know if it's on your side or theirs.
Do it, because I spent 3 years with slowspeed issues only to notice once I changed ISP that the wiring in my home was all bad.

If you're on the rogers plan, there is an extreme package(which is the one i'm on) that says 15MB/s ... but when i read closely, it said up to 15MB/s. Like you i'm also getting 1.5 MB/s

i had a problem similar to this. there may be a few causes for this: 1) your modem may be working wrong. have a tech come out and check it out (should be free). 2) your neighbors may be running routers that will interfere with your channel. if they use channel 6 and u do as well, it will screw up your bandwidth. if u upgrade toa dual band router, it may fix your problem. 3) if it is up to 15 megabits, then you ought to at least get a certain percentage (around 60-70). if not, you can ask for your money back for the months that you didn't get it.

BECAUSE YOU MUST BE GETTING 15 MEGABITS per second. THE OTHER MUST BE 1.6 MEGABYTES per second. So you are getting more than you need.
