Re: Great work Karl! Yeah! That's why I went with Basic Basic Cable (not the same basic as the $40+ package - but a hold over from TCI and ATTBI) for $15.00 a month, which "basically" comes out to free cable since I'd have to pay $59 anyway if I didn't have cable! Before that, we didn't have TV reception. I'm not sure if were better off now, because I probably watch too much TV, though my kids really don't watch that much anyway. I'm reasonably satisfied with Comcast, but have considered getting the Performance Plus package 8Mbps/768kbps for $52.95! I've been putting that off.
Having said that, I sure wish that Verizon FiOS was available here! I mean 15Mbps/2Mbps for $49.95? That's got to be the best in the US, for the buck. Unfortunately it doesn't come anywhere close to some other countries like Korea and Japan who reportedly have 100 megabits. That's another story however.
I do want to say that I really appreciate Karl's excellent work on this.

2 edits | It's $50 for 15/2 only if you sign a 1 year contract. Otherwise they charge a big install fee an an $8 per month "How dare you not want to get locked into a Verizon contract?!?" penalty.
In my service area, TWC's non-contract price is a few bucks cheaper than FiOS' non-contract for the same 15/2 service.
As for 100Mb services, Cogent supplies 1Gb services to MUDs here though availability is limited. We just get to hear about the "best" available elsewhere leaving some with the impression that US BB sucks when nothing could be farther from the truth.

How many times will this false statement be repeated. That 100 meg is only available to multi unit dwellings not individuals. |

Let me tell you, I'd sign a one year contract to get the 15/2 in a heart beat! That's way better than I can get out here, and the only real competition to Comcast is Qwest, and their offerings are not even as good as what I got.

»Average U.S. Broadband Speed: 1.9Mbps
. . . their average bandwidth is still way better than ours!

I can see the light though and all will be right with America's network once again. Can you say, do you want fries with that? Sure you can. |
