I switched from AT&T DSL around April 2011. There is no other competition in this area other than satellite or a WISP that really is just for rural. This was when Buckeye was switching billing/management systems and let's just say they rushed that migration and the poor installer that showed up couldn't do anything. Luckily I hadn't canceled DSL yet so maintained Internet until they straightened stuff out. Needless to say I sent a few nastygram's Buckeye's way - received some service credits so that's fair. After the install, the service was rock solid. No problems, no unexplained outages sans (1) - and the rest could be explained away by severe weather (I'm talking wind, lightning, etc.). Their tech support is good, even assisted me (via email no less) with setting up MythTV and a Ceton Infinitv 4 with Cablecard - although I don't care for the fact that I had to end up switching to Windows Media Center to get all subscribed channels. I do not know if the setting of CCI values is Buckeye's fault or not. Bundled price is $170 and change, which at the moment includes HBO/Cinemax, but will be dropping that 1-Sept-2013 which will reduce the bill by $25 or so. Have the 6/1 plan soon to be 7/1 although they are raising rates to give this speed. I have an Arris TM722G DOCSIS 3 Telephony modem. I noticed downtown that what looks like a U-Verse VRAD is being built - shall be interesting to see what, if any competition AT&T brings. They'd have to save me something significant, say $20 or more per month in perpetuity to switch. member for 20.1 years, 1444 visits, last login: 25 days ago lodged 10.5 years ago
