SimplyBits experience
need to do a review one of these days....
this is actually SimplyBits, which uses the same technology as wi-power, and serves the eastern part of Tucson. additionally, there is webhiway, which is WiFi and +40dB antennas aimed at those tv towers on top of Mt. Lemmon, and they advertise 11Mbps.
pros: faster upload than SBBD (384kbps). high reliability (no outages in two months).
neutral: price is $45/mo for 384kbps/1Mbps and $65/mo for twice that speed. DSL locally is $40 for 1Mbps and $50 for 2Mbps. do not know cable. SBBD was $40/mo for 100kbps/5Mbps.
cons: installation is $200. low speed -- 1MBps down is just not enough in 2008.
anyway, there you have it. I qualify for 2Mbps DSL for $50/mo, but I chose to do business with a local provider. |
