High speed internet, DSL

[00vtec]

I know, the internet i have right now i get about 4.5Mb on average, and it is awesome. My only issue is the price, because at cableone its like 60 bucks or something, right now I am paying 35. And I was looking at qwest, and it said they could only get me 1.5Mb.

Blah damn my shitty <3MB Cable One..

I've been on qwest the entire time I've lived in fargo. I'm on the 1.5 and consider going up to the 7mbit service now and then. The nice thing about qwest @ 1.5 is that you will always get that speed. Upstream is 898k, which isn't bad. In the ~6 years I've been here I've had probably 5 days where there was some kind of problem on qwests end. Pretty good reliability, IMO.

There are no proxies, no filters, and no shaping that I've run into.

The qwest 1.5 service isn't fast enough for anything other than basic quality if you do netflix streaming on a PC. We may upgrade to the 7mbit service this fall when we're watching more movies again.

Idk who quoted you at cableone but I pay about $30/month for my 5mb, which is long after my "new subscriber" period.

I'm assuming you have TV, and quite possibly HDTV, so the bundling of those make it cheaper than $53.

CableOne < *

Why would anybody pay that much money for such a fucking slow service? Seriously, their fastest service is a fucking turtle.

Yeah that does change the cableone thing if you get TV from Dish(smart-ish choice). Do they offer internet anymore themselves?

They do but it's stupid expensive for what you get and the latency is horrible.
