| Some ISP's really do put up. Allow me to shill for Tampa Bay Brighthouse for a moment.
Their ul/dl rates are right about where they promise. I have frequently seen bursts 1-2Mb over posted speeds. I haven't seen them cap, throttle or packet shape in any way.
Actually Verizon FiOS has been as advertised here also. Their DSL service can be a real headache, but I wouldn't call it fraudulent. There's a lot of old copper in the ground. BH ripped out everything left by AT&T and TSI, which explains their consistent high quality.
Even EVDO is mostly pretty good. The reception is more hit than miss and some places really rock with the A standard.
HSDPA, however.....I keep hearing how it'd deployed here and borrow my friends HSDPA card and can't find anywhere in Tampa where I can get over (EDGE CDMA UMTS whatever) speeds.
Sprintel deployed wireless SOMETHING. Their maps show coverage without being clear on what technology is deployed.
It DOES tic me off how I can't get BH over 7Mb unless I buy digital cable or pay business rates which amount to the same thing. But at least they don't lie about it, just earn my everlasting irritation.
