Small town internet ftl, and Cableone has been screwing people around here for a long time.

Until Saturday.

Thank you Qwest!

Its not as cheap as many of you get, but atleast I won't have one of the crappiest deals out there. I'm going with the 20/5mb service, which will go from $50 to $59 after a year.
 
the 20/5 price isn't more than a couple dollars higher than what cox rapes us at. yeah FCC and no competition agreements.
 
My uncle pays $50/month for 0.5 Mb down and up. It's a rural internet provider that they either use Wimax or Wifi to get the internet.

CableOne & Qwest are my only options here too, though Qwest stops at 7/1 and CO stops at 10/1. CO got an exclusivity agreement with the city after they laid their own fiber - they don't have to share the lines with anybody for some ridiculous amount of time, so they're in no rush to even out prices or speed. I understand the exclusivity period after CO laid their own lines, I just wish they weren't such douchebags about it.
 
Congrats to you. I pay $35 for 3mb/256k. I can get 15mbit but I cut off TV and reduced internet to the lowest about 2 years ago to save the money.

Exclusivity contracts. :frown: They've been dbags here too, not interested in upgrading, and the town just re-upped with them last year as well.

Hopefully Qwest is lighting a fire in their @ss right now. As soon as my work starts getting better, I'm going to 40mbps as well. I'm done with Cableone.

7mb is actually quite good. Here it's 5mb max, even if you pay for higher - they cap at the DSLAM.

Comcast a mile away across the city's border has offered 16mb for the last 18 months .

That's time warp speeds/price, back to the .com bubble days. :Q
 
$20 for 768/512kbps, no caps. Doubling the speed means $50. Not really worth it at that price. Location: city of 6 million people in a country with over a billion people.
 
Cox has us at 10/768kb for $55, but I've seen up to 23Mb/s on this connection.

Embarq more money for less connection with worse CS and problem response time.

Clear just came out here, but all I've heard is terrible things about it. My friend is paying $40 for an "Up to 6Mb" connection and getting about 1mb/s and Clear says it's fine.
