Here's your answer: because I don't need the 1gb that I'm currently getting. 150mb is sufficient, and that seems to be the speed that is the most cost-efficient when looking at various bundles and plans on various internet company websites. My computer can do far greater than that, and so can my gaming laptop. But I'm not married to gig speed. I had frontier DSL at one point, and the speed was 25mb, and it was so slow and clunky and nothing synced properly. When I switched to xfnity, it immediately bumped to 80mg and I saw a vast improvement. Then they bumped me to 150, which was even more improved than that. They kept bumping me up to higher speeds but I couldn't notice any particular difference in viewing ability between the 150 and the 250, the 400, or the 1gb. And so - 150 is the speed I want.

Now - do you have an actual answer to my question, or are you just being incredibly nosey?
