Update 3/27/2014: Things are just cooking along here. We're now getting 25Mbps on the Blast! tier for the cost of what every one else pays for 50Mbps. Whoopee! Go Comcast! Love to see them regulated. We should be paying 1/2 of what people that are getting 50Mbps are paying, but no, they get away with whatever they can via their virtual monopoly here. Keep getting solicitations for "high-speed" DSL from AT&T, and then when I go look the best I can get is 768Kbps. No where near the 3Mbps that I was able to get 5 years ago from PacBell/AT&T. Original review: I'm paying for 12Mb/s, get about 10Mb/s in the morning, usually, here on the west side of Santa Cruz, CA. As the afternoon wears on, after about 3PM, the speed really dives. By evening I'm usually sitting at 1.5-3Mb/s. Just terrible. They won't tell me if they're working on any improvements, all they can do is send out a tech, but it apparently isn't a technical problem. They obviously need to improve their infrastructure around here, but don't seem to have any moral compunctions about taking my money and delivering CRAP service. I'd dump them in a NY minute if I could get broadband or DSL over 6Mb/s, but very little competition at the high end here. I can pay DSLextreme $15 for 3Mb/s, or AT&T for 3Mb/s, but don't want that. Really pisses me off that all I can do is pay for decent internet service, but can't get it. Anyone having better luck that me on the west side of Santa Cruz??? Any suggestions? I was looking at the Exede satellite internet thing, but it is expensive, and lots of latency despite advertising decent speed. member for 11.8 years, 78 visits, last login: 2.8 years ago updated 10 years ago
