Yes! Now we're finally talking data.


November to December was significant

Less than 0.1Mbps. As you can see, the original graph (http://i.imgur.com/tijZBiJ.jpg) is compressed to show only the relevant data points - i.e. the bottom isn't 0. You're assuming a huge jump in speeds when... it wasn't.


The drop from the baseline of August to December's low is... let me get my pixels out:

My claims:

1. September, October, and November were slightly faster than normal (~0.07Mbps per month on average), but an anomaly. Why? I dunno.

2. December isn't much slower than the pre-anomaly normal. Roughly 2.14Mbps to 2.12Mbps. 0.02Mbps. 20Kbps. 2.5KBps. Significant? No.

3. But when you look at the drop from 'normal' of August to January, the drop was ~2.14Mbps to ~1.82Mbps. 0.32Mbps. 320Kbps. 40KBps. Sixteen times the September-November bump. That is a significant aberration, and would line up with the mid-January ruling.
