I'm getting a MAX throughput of 75k per sec...Response time is horrible... Ive heard from a few others its like this right now too...
It seems they have weekly problems! Is it just moorhead, or are people in Fargo getting it too?
You do understand that cable is shared. So if you neighbors are on it. It brings the speed down.

I refuse to get DSL simply because I don't want the added expense of a home phone line and DSL service...IOW, I have cable tv, so paying for cable internet is cheaper than adding a landline phone and paying for internet and cable.Also, some of my neighbors that had DSL service switched to cableone due to crappy service/low speeds from qwest.
Hm I have 5MB down from uswest. I havent had any problems. I also have dsl from work ideaone no problems there. DSL all depends on how far away you are and all copper isnt equal.
Cableone has about the same or more problems with their internet. I wouldnt say their better then uswest. I dont like sharing my bandwith with my neighbors so I have dsl.
It's pretty easy to get hooked up to cable for free. I wouldnt pay for their cable if I was dieing.

I hated cableone when I was an apartment. Now that I'm in a house and in a less populated area, it's great. That said, it is no quicker if not slower than the 512k up/down DSL line we have at work for normal browsing.
Cable is shared in your location, DSL is not "shared" in the same sense but all of them eventually battle for bandwidth as you move up the chain. But with DSL your slow down is almost never between you and your ISP.

Honestly what it all comes down to is personal preference. I offer DSL service so if you want that, get it from me

anything faster than 1024?

Chuck: We have the 1024k service here at the house and I see up to 2mbit sometimes. However we guarentee 1024 so that we don't "oversell" ourselves. I could be like cableone and say "up to 3 mbit" and never guarentee anything.
