Who's your ISP daddy?

Mine is Time Warner, but my d/l speed while I'm Netflix streaming is much faster than the average. I guess my speed increases the average. I would hate to be the person who is below average.

I've got Cox. Sure wish I lived in the Google Fiber area.

[trickblue]

uVerse... relatively few complaints...

[jobberone]

Comcast and I'm in tier two but get 20-30 mb speeds. So no complaints.

[Romo 2 Austin]

Cablevision.


ATT mobile slower than SPRINT & TMOBILE? That is surprising. No surprise Verizon is #1.

Google Fiber would cost $140b for a nationwide rollout, due to the fact they offer the free internet option the government may invest at some point. Google has $45b on hand so it is nowhere close.

FIOS, and it is smoking fast. Never had a single issue.

Cablevision is the WORST! I switched from Verizon FIOS to them to save some money and regret it. I've called them to come fix problems at least 7 times and its only been about 4 or 5 months since I've had them.

Same here. I get like 2MB/s speeds while DL torrents.

[Joshmil53]

Charter sucks.

[Kilyin]

Verizon FIOS. Not the top tier, though.

What.

It was a few MB faster with my Apple Airport Express but the thing stopped working a few days ago and had to go back to my old router. Very weird.

[Kilyin]

What.

75/35 plan, but for some reason it seems more like 85/35. Not complaining though.

How much does that cost you if you don't mind me asking?

99.99 a month for internet and phone.

[Thatkidbob]

99.99 a month for internet and phone.

I'm extremely jealous.

99.99 gets me 18 down, 5 up, intermittent 15 second dropouts & Basic TV with Time Warner Cable.

This has always been my experience with FIOS, always gotten higher than the advertised rate. I have the same plan as well. It's way overkill, but hard to pass up at the price.

My parents are paying around that for TV/Internet at 30 down, wonder if Charter has something like yours.

What TV service do you pkg your internet with?

I have Uverse and like it ok, but the internet (wireless) seems really slow.

I love FIOS. So much better than Comcast (when we had them). I get 10mb/s downloads from Steam. I downloaded a 6 gig game the other day in about 5-6 minutes. Haven't had a single outage since we switched either. Comcast was notorious for that. Not only during storms, but just random outages that would last for hours.

I have FIOS bundle for internet and phone. DirecTV for TV service, for as long as they are the sole provider of Sunday Ticket.

This is to your house? I hope you're not paying extra for that, because you will never utilize that type of bandwidth at home. Most servers on the net, can't and won't push that type of bandwidth. Even multiple services combined couldn't saturate that.

The best use for that type of bandwidth would be bittorrent, but then you are probably asking to get a court summons if you are using that type of bandwidth with bittorrent.

I have 100mbit fiber in the office linked to Cogent's backbone on the 30th floor of the same building. (which explains the 4ms ping ;) ) This is what we get and my entire office doesn't come anywhere near saturating it.

Yes sir, it is. It's an extra 10 bucks a month. I don't care if I can saturate it or not. My middle name is overkill, and I have the PC to prove it (well, I did a couple years ago). My machine will still stand up to most modern systems of today though, barring the most insane enthusiasts.

the last thing I'm going to be limited by nowadays is internet speed.

Chesterfield. You can check on their website as to whether or not it's available in your area... but you probably already did.

I want FIOS. :( Though, I do have Comcast and it's not bad. I think I have 30 Mbps down and 5 Mbps up which suits me fine.
