I am switching internet services once agian. Back to RoadRunner.
Why? You ask . .because BrightHouse has a new Combo Deal @ 114.00/month
| Cable Television | Telephone Service | 20Mbps RR Turbo Plus |


Switching from Verizon DSL to Bright House RoadRunner Turbo Plus 20Mbps.

I've waited for FIOS to be available in my area ever since I heard about it almost 2 Years ago. I have repeatedly contacted them about getting service to my area. I just got tired of waiting.

I will run a connection speed test on the DSL as soon as I am done Optimizing my computers for the connection, and I will run another speed test today after its all hooked up.

Currently with Telstra Business. It works... but it's bloody expensive for a 20GB download limit. I'm wishing optus would finish their ADSL2+ equipment at my exchange so I could switch to them.

I have RoadRunner from Time Warner Cable and I love it. Never have any problems and it's extremely fast.

I have Verizon DSL. Works fine for my needs. (And I play almost all MMORPG's... no lag)
