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

[lokiju]

Hell yeah.

If it were faster upload and more reliable I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I hate the crap Charter cable I have.

And besides, my work pays for my home internet

Probably not if I'd be spending more.

I'd switch if I could get a lower cost, slower speed ISP, like going from cable 6/1.5 to DSL 1.5/.768.

No way, my ISP is freaking awesome.

KT

Having done just that... see my Knology sucks thread. Mmm... 25Mbps/1Mbps for $29.95/mo. I <3 Mediacom (for now).

I've been waiting for fios to arrive in my area, so yes, i would change and pay a bit more.

 

[uhohs]

i wish u-verse didn't have crap upload speeds. if the speeds were more competitive with fios i would jump on the u-verse train.

 

[PrinceofWands]

Just dumped Comcrap, even though I'm stuck with basic dsl now. It was SOOOOOOOOO worth it.

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'll look into that. I don't usually open my bills; I pay everything online. The $40 plan would save me $30 per month, but damn, the drop in speed would be tremendous. I currently have 8mbps down, and I think it's 1.5mbps up.

I have Verizon 3MB DSL. I would love do have more bandwidth.

Need MOAR!!!!!

Only for something a lot faster. ATT has been good to me for the most part. They got a little bitchy when I didn't pay my bill and it took a whole month to get my service restarted, but since then I've been good. Moved to a new neighborhood, closer to a CO, and now I get 6mbit service for 45$/month. They'd have to start throttling my torrents or something like that to get me to switch to cable and even then, it'd have to be for much faster service and no bandwidth cap.

 

[SlitheryDee]

I'd pay more for faster service no matter which company it comes from so long as they don't throttle or impose a d/l cap.

 

[honkydory]

I am so done with comcast, now if i could just get my parents on the same page =/.

I have ATT Uverse. I would not change ISP's if I had a more expensive alternative.
I would only change ISP's if there was a LESS expensive alternative that had no monthly cap as well as, more upstream bandwidth and more downstream bandwidth. It would help if there was at least 1 static IP as well.
