General Discussion

I have the main fiber optic cable for almost entire northwest running about 100 yards from my back door, I have frontier providing my DSL via copper, they (frontier) have a fiber line running down the road in front of my place, I have what they laughingly call "high speed internet" it is supposed to be 1.3 down and 256 up most times it is more like .200 or down and .035 up I pay almost 70 a month for this. My only other choice is to get screwed by the sat. co's they are a lot faster but they have limits that are almost impossible to stick to if you want to do any more than just read the mail, log on here and generally surf some, anything more and you are over your limit right away.. So nothing in any real way for choices but they will not do anything to help, when I cal with complaints they may send someone out and play like he is doing something to it to make it better but so seriously over subscribed that it is almost unusable except late at night... Have 3g maybe on cell phone and it is almost as fast as my DSL..
