I considered getting Astound High Speed, since Ive had experience with them. Trouble is the thing that bothered me most about them were the rolling restarts on everyone's modem in certain areas while they were going through maintenance. very frustrating in my world of warcraft days, cant have that happening in my professional life.
So in light of that, I decided to go with a 16 mbp/s option from Comcast, and experience speeds of an average 700 kbp/s from regular web use, and 1.5 mb downstream when using torrents. Can achieve up to 500-600 kbp/s upload but very rarely, and only when using torrents.
Install and ordering was a breeze, rightfully so, they are way too big of a company.
Bad experiences only come around when i find myself not paying attention. No matter what company you decide to go with, stay on top of them, otherwise it makes it too easy for them to take your money when you could be getting more and/or better service for less.
