  1. CDE LIGHTBAND

    because of a core hub, cde bandwidth CAN NOT handle the load of there customers.
    It will be several months before there equipment is updated, until then, some customers will only have 1 to 2MB connections in peak hours, from 7pm to midnight.

    CDE can not afford to update so customers cant have what they pay for.

    if this were happening to CDE management, I bet they would fix the problem.
