  1. In the past, our most famous telco was using "from". So, the advertised speed was not fantastic, but still better than competitors, because everyone used "from" and consumer took that for granted. I mean, that's the logical way to do it. Last decade, shady providers changed to "up to" and advertised insane speeds. Especially the TV network. So, they had a bad reputation, because their technology QOS entirely depend on the number of active users and even weather! So, in summer, they got a lot of subscribers, because the weather was nice and most people were away, Which means that new subscribers had insane speed. But during fall, those at the famous telco provider laughed their ass, because their lines still went at the same speed regardless of number of people or weather (that's the joy to have PTP). But the TV network just pushed it through and were able to scam more people, even having dirty clause in your contract so you are engaged for a year or pay huge fine. So, the famous telco had no choice, they launched few sub-companies with the same shady practice, but those sub companies lacked proper support and the brand name. Didn't work so well, so the company itself just jumped in the band-wagon and also played dirty. Even worse, that famous telco dropper his support! (They still have a support line, but these are unqualified people running through scripts at ALL levels. Even L1. So, you end up having to call a technical department where it's a few guy not used to the exercise...and that's if you know your way in) The other shady move was to go from MB to Mb. The ISP world is dirty AF ^^ Oh, and more and more ISP do network shaping too. As for wages, when I had to find a job, I asked the salary and a lot of recruiter kept it as a secret. You had to run through the interview, sometimes even doing tests, before knowing who is the real client and how much he is willing to pay. The trick is to ask the range, then if your expected salary is not even within it, just move on and explain why. Good to ask, because you may devalue yourself. And if they ask, just tell and say that this is your minimum, no concession. And that If they can't accept, it's not worth to pursue the interview.
