I had cable internet installed at least 5 or 6 years ago. Then, the demand may have been higher for a new installations back then, so the time from order to install was a week if I remember correctly. For the most part, I've never really had any outages due to Buckeye's actual network, it's been due to modems and other hardware failure. There was a time where I had to reset my modem and it kept failing to reconnect but when I called tech support they were already aware of it and said that it should re-connect itself by the morning at the very latest and if it didn't they would send someone out or something like that. At any given time I have an Xbox 360, 5 or more computers, a PS3 and maybe a couple other connected devices on my network. I almost always get host while playing game on xbox live because of the reliability of my connection and the very low ping times. I'm currently on the 10,000/800 package and I believe it costs about $70 a month. I also use their telephone and cable TV services.
I do know that when I confront tech support and ask about any way at all in the universe to obtain faster upload speeds, given that money is not a limiting factor, I'm met with dodgy responses and I'm juggled between different "departments" for things such as a business connection, which I would be willing to pay for.
I recently got a new modem, it's a Motorola SURFboard SBV5220.
This is my first review, please forgive me for sounding like an idiot but I can't sleep and I figured I'd counter the negative reviews with a positive one. Maybe some of those other reviewers should try the higher speed tiers, it might do them some good. After all, you can't expect Ferrari performance from a Geo Metro can you?
Oh and to the torrent people, it's limited mostly by your computer and the people seeding to you, I've had some ~cough~ linux ~shifty eyes~ torrents max out my connection.
