Best high speed internet?

I have Cable One, the ONLY ballgame in town short of DSL. Guess I have little choice in saying Cable One.:kilroy:

I have my internet through Time Warner Road Runner....only game in town for me. I am paying for a 7meg per second connection, but since most of the people on my road are older and generally don't have internet...I am clocking between 12 and 23 meg per second download times.

rogers here, and i'm not likin it. funny how, for may of us there is little or no competitors. makes ya go hmmmmm
 
Had Roadrunner for the last few years. We just switched to AT&T ( wife's in property managment ) because we get it for free. So when I'm disatisfied with it I just keep telling myself "We're not paying for this!" It's not bad though. Just a little slower.
If I had to pay for it I'd stay with Roadrunner.
 
Where I live we have two options, Suddenlink cable or AT&T. I picked the cable cause we got a packaged deal with cable TV, internet and phone.
 
I've had Cox (also my cable TV provider) since I got my computer in April 2001. I've been very happy with them. They occasionally have scheduled late-night maintenance outages which are a minor pain (I'm a night owl) but overall good service with good d/l speeds. Verizon still sends me offers to switch to DSL but after the goat-rope Hey_Moe had with his Verizon start-up (and some of my friends too) I'm staying with Cox.
 
I have Verizon FIOS which I have come to like better than Cox. The speed stays the same no matter what and it has better security. Cox where I am have been the only provider that was fast. The price just kept going up,up,up. Now that Verizon has started to enter the game, Cox customers are switching faster than Cox can keep up with.
 
My college has blazing internet. Even at peak usage in the school you get at least 20 megs down and well over 10 megs up. I can't believe with that many computers connected we can still get those sorts of speeds. :isadizzy:

It makes my 4 megs down and 400k up at home feel like it's standing still.
 
I had AT&T (formerly BellSouth) DSL here, but true to AT&T's usual form, they started billing me for stuff that they shouldn't have and no customer support to try to fix it. Pay or get cut off.

So we switched to the local cable, New Wave. DSL was a bit slower, but more reliable. New Wave has a tendency to drop service at the most inopportune moments. Their customer service is better than AT&T as well.

Your mileage might vary
 
Around here you can get dial up, Verizon DSL if you live in the right place (FIOS is now available in some areas), or Comcast cable, that's it. I have Comcast because I don't live in the right spot. My cable has been reliable and it is fast. Too bad that most localities have laws that restrict cable to one provider. Competition is such a good thing.
 
AT&T here.....

At the house its great...

At my shop, not as good or reliable
 
I have Verizon FIOS and I tell ya...once the contract is up in June, I am moving to Comcast! I am fed up with verizon charging us for additional services we did not ask for. And when we try to speak to a CSR, they get all snotty and have very poor customer support! Verizon:rocket:
