With Comcast not available in my brand new subdivision of $500,000+ homes and DSL being flaky I decided to give Mesa a try. So far so good.
Install happened on time with no surprises. Static IP, I'm about 1 mile from their tower so I get a nice reliable connection, about 7ms for the first hop.
Unfortunately the rest of their network is highly congested, and latencies to the last hop on their network vary from 30 to 200 ms. This is going to prohibit online gaming but at least I'll be able to work. I'll also see what it's like off-peak and during inclement weather.
Got the 500/200 package (I know, it's barely better than modem!) but I seem to be getting 80-90% of that with speed tests.
