I have a small project that I am thinking of building soon, but before that I need some statistics on how you use your internet!
Would appreciate greatly if you could help me fill in the short poll!
Honest answers please! :)

    I have AT&T U-verse and it's not bad. We haven't randomly dropped connection ever since we switched from Charter Communications.

    Oh well, I guess my ISP is awesome.
    Good luck on your project, interested to see more of it!
