Value for money:

    I signed up with Keyon (a.k.a. Speednet) about 4 years ago. At the time, they gave you 1.5m/128k for $30.18/month total. Not bad considering the alternatives. So I bought in and agreed to their $150 install and 12 month term, only because of the bridged connection with static IP.

    Recently they offered the upgraded bandwidth of 1.5m/384k for an additional $20/month. For $50 a month I can go with the local cablemodem provider (Cox) and have ten times the speed! (but no static ip, and lotsa ports are blocked)

    In the past few years, they went down hill severely! My static IP connection was having the average latency of 3100ms. They sent their techs out here 4 (yes four!) times only to discover that I needed to be DHCP. So they convert me to DHCP (there goes the main reasons I signed up) and tell me that they'll convert me back soon.

    Its been 2 months and they still haven't successfully completed it yet. They changed me back to static and my latency went back up to 3100ms. (it averages 20ms)

    They're support is terrible. Management is worse. Its saddening that these guys have the future WiMax licenses

    There most recent continued downtime is being blamed on their fiber provider (American Fiber). They should pass the buck, and they should have a redundant connection if they're going to take peoples money!
