My 6yr stint with BellSouth/AT&T DSL left me pessimistic about finding a good ISP in my area but NCTV came through with flying colors.Ive only been an NCTV subscriber for 1 month but if the first month is an indication of their service as whole, they have customer for as long as I stay connected to the internet.
I even referred a business customer to them who is supposed to be connected by next Tuesday.He also had bad results from BellSouth/AT&T with nothing but excuses and finger pointing for their overpriced/under performing DSL
If you live in the Oconee County area and NCTV is an option for you for broadband I suggest you spend the extra $$ for a quality connection.
As an added note my advertised speed package is 6mb/256kb with consistant tests exceeding these speeds by 2mbs+.I do wish there was 1mb upload or more available for residential subscribers though.

Technical help is informed and responsive. Cost is too high, but alternate source not available with comparable speed, and they know it !

This is the only type of broadband that I can get where I live. At least that I know of.
Their email support is a little on the slow side. But it is friendly and answers your questions without a run around.
They offer only basic email services. There is no usenet offered.
I originally orders 1.5 mbps, but decided to up it to 3.0 mbps for a about $11.00 more.
The order and install process went smoothly.
They give you a Motorola Cable modem.
Over all I am satisfied with their service.
Update : 01-20-2008
Lately there have been a lot of times that the internet went down. It has been happening every few days for the last month or so.

Their service is getting consitantly worse. There are a lot of blackouts, It sometimes takes hours to be able to reconnect to the interent. This happens a few times a week. Also their speed is slow most of the time.

I considered getting Embarq DSL, but not being able to get without a home phone threw me off. They wanted just a bit less for 1.5 mb, but the home phone prices are ridiculous. I haven't had home phone in 10 years. Northland able offering me just internet helped. I ordered 2mb package, not sure on upload, it's right at 100kb/s i get.
Getting it ordered with the first CS rep was a pain, she tried selling me a bundle with cable/phone/internet together. Kept telling me how much i would save bundling. How can i save when i don't need your phone or cable TV? Hung up, got another rep and finished in no time. Install was midways thru the afternoon when they said they would be here. Dude was fast, climbed the pole, drilled one hole, maybe had to run 15 foot of cable at the most. dude didn't even break a sweat.
They brought the bottom line surboard by motorola.
During the day i keep speeds of 1300-1700 consistently, just depends on the load.
Nighttime is a diffrent story..i think most of my town is in the bed by 10:30pm, because after that time, my cable flies. No less then 1900 and it does creep on up to 2400 at times in the middle of the night. I haven't run a test yet at night but will soon

I use the digital cable/BB-3000/256/internet phone.My speeds usually stay around 2800/229 so I'm not complaining about their service.When it's really busy the phone will break up sometimes.The triple play NOW is only for six months for new subscribers.Since Northland Cable is the only BB provider in this area I don't have a choice.As long as the price stays right for the triple play plan they will have a customer.I'd hate to go back to dail up but if the price advantage ever dries up ma bell,dish network,and msn dail up will have me back as a paying customer.DMM
