Who is your Internet Provider?

I'm with Midcontinent (they only exist in the Dakotas and part of Minnesota), and they're amazing.

For $119/mo, I get phone (unlimited local and long distance), very quick internet with no bandwidth caps, and digital cable with a DVR and HD service, which is a pretty good deal.
Despite the insane weather we get up here, I've never had my phone, internet or cable cut out, which is pretty impressive.

The best part is that their support people are located somewhere in the upper midwest, so the only time I've had to call them, the issue was resolved within 5 minutes without me having to guess at what the support person was saying.

I certainly didn't expect to see Midco mentioned in this thread! I also use Midco, 28Mbit down and 768k up, and best of all it's FREE! We're rolling out DOCSIS 3.0 this summer in select markets, and while I don't know what speed grades will be offered, we're seeing 140Mbit in the lab. I hear Midco is the envy of the cable industry, whom the bigger guys look to as a technology leader. Customer service is a top priority, and the phone support techs get paid as much as $30K a year, which is pretty darn good for SD with such low cost of living here. :engel016:
 
Hi all,
I use Tiscali here in the UK.Not the fastest.Should get 8mb but usually only get 4-6mb speed.But I do have unlimited downloads size.Not may ISP's in the UK give you that.Most cap your amount.All for only £17.99.This also includes the cost of the Thompson wireless router and 4 wireless dongles for your computers.

My service is Cox. I shouldnt write this, but I pay roughly $250.00 a month. Its horrible. Cable is astronomical, but I get SciFi, Discovery, and the 3 Christian channels. Internet is massively fast. And we have a phone. Thats 3 services.

blooming heck bill, we only pay £29ish a month for a 8mb line (which is fast enough for anyone really), and that includes home hub (basicly a router) and an internet phone (which is never used) plus free calls anywhere to the uk (up to an hour, but you can hang up and redail for another free call) then sky for tv which is around £23ish, even then theres more channels then any of us watch .... now im guessing that is around $76ish ... they buy you dinner first bill?? :faint:
 
Brighthouse Networks! I live North of Orlando (Florida), and bright house Networks is one of the fastest internet so far!

I pay $29.99 per month on their slowest connection (still speedy fast for me!) 7Mbps Road Runner High Speed Online

$120.00 For Combo Digital Cable, Digital Phone and High Speed Internet! :amen:

BrightHouse/RoadRunner....here.

Comes with the cable, which is part of the neighborhood's maintenance fee so it's not a bad deal.

We benefit from the fact that Verizon is in a turf war with Brighthouse. Whenever they try and raise the rates my wife calls up and says she's going to Verizon. Then they give us a 6 month discount rate.

Hey, you don't ask, you don't get.

Being an IT Telecom guy, I've never been a big fan of DSL. It has it's place, but it's often problematic. In my workplace we've replaced all the DSL links except one -- which we have no choice with.

Guess which one gives us the most trouble?
 
Man I could not have dreamed up all these companies in a nightmare! But it's interesting. What ever happen to Ma-Bell? Ah, the good old days!
