    I can get the down on cable (upto 30Mbps dn) but I wish I could hit that upload (1Mbps up max)!

    I can only get wideband (upto 50Mbps dn, 5Mbps up) here through cable for $100/mo. They don't offer fiber but I can't wait.

    lucky

    If it goes out one day, it will not be me re-routing your line to my house. lol

    we can get 24mbps down 5mbps up here off cox premier packages.


    and 50/55mbps down 8mbps up off ultimate.


    but i aint paying no 124$ a month for it.

    16 down (more like 18 ) down and 4mbps up (and more like 1.5) for 34.99 is perfect for me.

    i also have cox at home and get mid 30's down and 4-6 up(ill do a speedtest when i get home). i have a nice docsis 3 modem so i get better than advertised, at least according to the tech that installed. possibly because most of the people in my neighborhood use att for internet for some reason(at least according to the open networks.

    I think I'm promised 2 down, .5 up. So, it's just slow. At $20 a month, it seems somewhat fair.


    I'm still interested in other ISPs.


    This is EXTREMELY strange:


    I get better speeds from SLC, 200 miles away, than the IF server, <50 miles away!

    And Boise, completing the "triangle":

    100~200ms response time is terrible unless your across an ocean.

    Anyone have a 3/4G service I can compare to?


    *No wonder it's slow! It's re-routing to Idaho Falls! From where I live!
    Still, that doesn't explain why Idaho Falls had the worst out of the three speeds.

    Again, I'm open to opinions for other ISPs. No phone or TV services, as we'll NEVER use them.
