Embarq Extension is bull
We live in a a fairly upper scale area in South Fort Myers and have been getting 512k for the last eight years, 256 for a while. At the end of the circuit which passes our subdivision is a country club where 6M is available and they are about a mile further from the C/O than we are.
Embarq offers what they can't deliver and it is impossible to get any explanation from them, The MOST anyone gets is 512.
Here is their offering from their website.
High-Speed Internet Service
Up to 768k download / 384k upload
* Basic high-speed Internet access
* Check email and browse the Web casually
$29.95
$19.95 + $29.95 voice plan
$49.90 total bundle price
Up to 1.5M download / 512k upload
* Best choice for seeking the right balance of price and speed
* Check e-mails, send pictures, shop online and trade stocks
$34.95
$24.95 + $29.95 voice plan
$54.90 total bundle price
Most customers have no idea what speed they are actually getting and/or if they are getting anything close to what for what they are paying for.
I am not a Comcast fan but Embarq sucks compared to what Comcast offers and delivers. I have helped many people switch to Comcast and they are much happier. Most have Comcast TV anyway so they get 6M for $43.
We actually have an Embarq executive living in the subdivision and he can't even get an answer as to the poor quality provided by Embarq.
I am in the process of dropping my $39 a month copper land line with Embarq and and going VOIP for $24.
Embarq sucks! |
