I ordered their 7Mb service at their introductory rate of $24.99 for 6 months, the fastest available to my address. Tech was only able to get 2.7Mb due to long distance my phone line travels to the network access point. I tried it for a few months but we were barely able to stream Hulu or Netflix and were then unable to have any other simultaneous internet activity on my in-house network. There was just not enough bandwidth. As of today, I have cancelled the service and just has Comcast 25Mb service installed, which is already a huge improvement.

This is

Distance from the plant (office) to the house is the real disadvantage. It is what it is. I live in a very rural area but I am not far from the plant. I have a very reliable phone and Internet 10/1 from CL. Cable does not have the same limitations. If I was a mile farther down the road I could not reach this speed. Our local cable offers 15/5 for $200.
