| Get DSL rather
I'm in central district, Seattle. Have now been testing internet speeds for almost a year. The BroadStripe commercial says, "up to 6mbps".
In reality, you get no more than 1-2mbps. On busy nights like monday, it dips down to below 512K. I got better internet in africa, at half the price. Commercial says: blow your competition away ? In reality you can't get less than 200 ping on any game server, not even as close as Everett. Go figure.
Watching internet tv or hulu is almost impossible, you get constant buffering. I pay a 100 bucks a month, and will be cancelling soon. This service sucks, look for alternatives, and don't bother asking for engineers to come out. They just put lipstick on the pig. So now who are they paying to keep their monopoly in this part of the city ? I thought america was all about competition ? I think Qwest offers dsl, my friend just jumped over and its decent. At least you get what you pay for.
Stay away from Broadstripe / Millenium folks !!! |
