Would you change your ISP if given a viable (though a little costlier) alternative?

[her209]

I have Cox and I would change in a heartbeat.

 

[RedCOMET]

I have COX and I would not change at the moment. They have been working A-OK for the last year. also, i'm not home enough as it is to really research and find a new ISP in my area.

 

[Fayd]

i have cox and would also change in a heartbeat.

fios..fios..where fore art thou, fios...

 

[xanis]

My parents have FiOS back home and it's awesome. I definitely wouldn't change that.

Here in the city though, I have no choice for a TV/Internet package besides Comcast. If Verizon offered FiOS in the city, I'd get it in a heartbeat.

I have Comcast. I'm happy with the service, but it's too expensive. I voted no, but if I could get a significantly cheaper service, I'd switch

 

[uhohs]

i wish i could get fios, my dsl speeds haven't increased in years. :/

Ditto for me.
They only have one cable plan in my area, but its very fast.
I'd settle for something slower and cheaper. The only way I can utilize 31mbit is with file-sharing, AND THE BASTARDS CLAMP YOUR SPEED WHEN FILE-SHARING!!!!

Did you get the insert pamphlet with your recent bill? They have an economy tier of service at $24.95 mo w/cable or $39.95 without.

It's 1Mbps/384Kbps which may not suit your needs. I only mention it because they don't promote it.

i have suddenlink, which bought cox here, and i might change....if the alternative was better.

when it was cox, it was perfect. fast, no problems. suddenlink has intermittent slow-downs, maybe twice a week. its annoying, but mostly the service is good.

the only alternative here is embarq, which isnt worth a shit.

 

[Linflas]

I answered yes but it is really a very qualified yes. I have Comcast and am generally satisified with them but when they finally hang that FIOS tag on my door I will be switching. Friggin Verizon has done every neighborhood but mine, guess they still hold a grudge for that FCC complaint I filed.

 

[sswingle]

I love my time warner

 

[dmw16]

Nope, but I have FiOS. When I move in a few months I am gonna be bummed if I have to go back to cable.

 

[TwiceOver]

Free 5/5 static through my employer. I can't imagine paying for internet now.

 

[ViviTheMage]

give me fios!

Same here. But if they implement the bandwidth caps they've been testing all bets are off.

 

[Beev]

When I had Cox I fucking HATED it and would have changed in a split second without looking back. They're garbage.

That said, I have Time Warner and love it.

 

[nakedfrog]

I have DSL... I could switch back to cable, but then I'd be paying more, and have a slower upload speed.

 

[BassBomb]

What do you mean by viable?

I pay 45/mo for 10 megabit w/ 60gb combined cap

 

[HardcoreRobot]

have COX, am actually OK with my internet... TV has been a pain, and overall I feel I am paying too much so I will be switching to FIOS in a few months

 

[K1052]

I'd love to get FIOS or U-Verse and dump Comcast.

Ohhh I've gotta check my last bill. I want something cheap since I only online game and surf.

 

[MotF Bane]

I have FIOS. :evil:

 

[BoomerD]

Right now, the only change I'd consider is U-verse, but we're locked into yet another contract with Dish Network...

I've been with AT&T/SBC/Pacbell since the mid 90's and don't plan to change.

Our only cable option is ComCrap...and I AIN'T gonna go that route...

 

[nageov3t]

optimum/cablevision and wouldn't change.

my parents have fios, and tbh, I don't care for it... internet speeds seem just the same as my boosted cable connection and the cable sucks ass.

I have Optimum Online also. I might switch to FiOS, but the 24/5 connection vs my current 15/2 won't make that big a difference to me.
