| Beamspeed is a really good option if...
... you live out in the rural areas where DSL and Cable aren't available.
However, as the previous gentleman mentioned, they are very consistent with their speed. If they tell you that you're getting 500K/s speed, that's what you get.
I have a friend who lives in Somerton and she's paying Qwest the ridiculous $79 per month fee for 7Mb/s download. That's supposed to be over 7,000Kb/s, but when I ran a bandwidth test over at PCPitstop.com, it consistently downloaded at only 1,250Kb/s !
That's ridiculous if you ask me. She's only getting one-fifth of what she's paying for!
Then, my sister, who also lives in Somerton, also has Qwest DSL and is paying for the 1Mb/s service. She hardly every downloads faster than 500Kb/s, which is half of what she's paying.
Not to mention, her service is down more offen then up, so she's really frustrated with it already.
I'm sorry to say that Qwest DSL seems to be very poor quality. I've been using BeamSpeed for the past 2 years and couldn't be happier with it. It's always up and you get what you pay for... simple as that.
