They have download caps and speed caps. Which they would never tell you upfront. I am going through the B.B.B right now to get out of my contract. I will go with there competition soon as this matter is resolved. Cableone is a joke when it comes to a isp. Be warned of there shatty practices. I email them and never a response! The install tech couldnt be any ruder. I insisted on a new drop from the pole and it basicly caused a fight between us. Way to make the customer happy cableone. In the evenings speed caps or not. Speed drops way down. And here I thought comcast was bad at my last place. Comcast is a saint compared to cableone. Speeds are as advertised until you download something to big. Then you will be capped at a 1/4 of the speed you pay for.

I live in Sioux City, Iowa and Cable One is the best out there for the price. Very reliable service fast connection 3Mb download 300kbps upload and works great with my home network. Best of all every member of the family can be on at same time. Have nothing but praise for it in the 4 years i been with them. I highly recommend them to all my friends and family.

Coming from Atlanta and now living in Mississippi, CableOne cable internet has been like taking a step back into the stone age. During peak busy hours, the internet is slowed down not on the local network, but on their extended network. They reply to all your tech support emails by saying, "We have found a problem and the engineers are working on it" with no visible fix.
Unstable Internet.. however this is my only choice in Columbus MS

If you ever need to be locked down, brought to a crawl and stay that way for 12 hours a day, this is the service for you. They advertise "watch us make you smile". What they don't say is "we consider a frown upside down a smile, and you will be upside down as we dunk you in a water tank for using our service, PS we hate you."
Good luck on getting in touch with a tech that can speak without a slur, or knows what is going on. "No outages in your area" means "you're f#cked until we fix something, but we don't know what it is, or when it will be fixed"
Oh ya, it costs a bunch, the cable sucks and basically is a giant rip off. They make comcast look good in retrospect.

Install was great, ordering was a breeze, waiting 20 days was not. The download/upload speeds were inconsistent, sometimes dropping for almost 10 minutes. This only happened about once a week, but still a problem that was never solved.
The Channel lineup was bad, the picture quality varied wildly, and you never knew what volume the next channel would be.

Dont have any other options but couldnt really complain about internet service.
Billing, and local phone support are a bunch of idiots. Drool out of corner of mouth type.
Tried phone service for 1 week and got an outragious bill. $29.95 turned into $48.
You are required to use their phone/internet modem. No other choice for $6.00 month
Cancelled phone and cable tv after going round and round with everyone but God,but still have internet with my modem for $53 for 5 meg.
When they are good. They are very, very gooooood.
When they are bad, they are very, very baaaadddd.
Now using Direct TV Dish for TV and find it superior so far.

Since Hurricane Katrina affected the area, CableOne Internet service has been a nightmare. Spotty service, frequent outages, and slow repairs are the norm. On one service call, the tech told me my modem was bad and replaced it, only to have the problem continue. When Internet and television signal went out, phone support told me they would "put me on a list" and it would be five days before a repair tech would be sent.
Aside from original thirty-day suspension of fees following storm, no adjustments for terrible service have been offered.
Update - just ordered DSL. CableOne has worsened, not improved.

DSL above 5mbit is very rare in the Treasure Valley. I bought new cableone.net account 5mbit/500k for $30/mo (for a relative), yet I've been a customer with them for 8 years (I was one of the first in the valley) and I pay $60/mo for the same service. They need to honor valued customers and either give the same price, or double my bandwidth for what I am paying.
Overall I give cableone two thumbs up, but they need to be offering the 10mbit+ packages for people at reasonable prices. I wouldn't care if they throttled P2P file sharing stuff, I rarely use that - But I want QoS shapped connections for Skype, online gaming, etc.
Also, in the spirit of good online game performance I've watched my ping to 2 national hosts, and ping to my local gateway. In the last 5 years they've gone down an average of 10ms. This is a good sign. I hope all ISPs work hard to identify routers and hardware that cause additional latency issues in the hops and upgrade!
I don't use cableone.net's VoIP phone service. $30/mo is simply not worth the switch. $15/mo and I'll take notice.
