In the apartment I moved to in downtown Seattle they had a contract with Broadstripe. Tell me WHY IS THE INTERNET SO SLOW IN DOWNTOWN SEATTLE!!! It's the 21st century, why is the upload only 384k and 6MB down it's the 21st Century. I should have a comparable speed to Comcast with Broadstripe and I don't, the Extreme service should be 12mb + down and 1-2mb upload. Anything else is a shame and Seattle should have Fiber Optic to everyone and ditch Cable IMO, also citywide fast Wifi like the UK has with 10/10 wouldn't be bad either. Anyways this service is overpriced and the only good thing about Broadstripe is it isn't as big of a rip-off as other DSL /TV providers are sometimes.
Overall BROADSTRIPE sucks and them not being a major corporation is a very bad excuse for all the Broadstripe fanboys. Fix the connection problems, if you have broadstripe try to broadcast video on ustream.tv and see how it freezes, what a joke, EVDO or cell phone internet works more consistantly uploading. It feels a lot like Clearwire and their throttling when you broadcast video.
