Yeah, but some of us like Internet porn.

It's your claim that September-November was a significant increase in speeds from August. It was not.

It's your claim that December was significantly slower than normal. It was not, neither from September-November nor from August.

Yes, January is for now a single data point. But it fits what we know.

I've backed up my position, using your data. If anyone's grasping here, it's not me.

No, it's my claim that November to December was significant. Because it was. Read the graph, read my comments.

Not my claim either. My claim is that December was significantly lower than November. Read the graph, read my comments.

Yes, it fits that we know that December to January was a significant drop, a drop that began November into December. That's what we know.

All you've shown so far is that you cannot read a graph or my comments.

...it's my claim that November to December was significant.

Less than 0.1Mbps. A higher limit of 100Kbps. Less than 12.5KBps. Well within the monthly variance shown on your graph.

If this were a climate change discussion you would be handwaving the September-November change as an aberration and calling December a return to near-normal, as it is not significantly lower than normal - look at the red line (http://i.imgur.com/tijZBiJ.jpg), as a statistician would. 2.14Mbps in August to 2.12Mbps in December. 0.02Mbps. 20Kbps. 2.5KBps. Significant? No. December to January? 2.14Mbps to 1.82Mbps. 0.32Mbps. 320Kbps. 40KBps. Significant? Yes.

Compared to the changes we see otherwise, they're quite significant. That's the point. That's how you compare things.
