Re: 38 Mbps x 8
I knew they offered the 30x2 tier on my street but I ass/u/med it was a DOCIS 2.x base. At $80/mo + tax/fees I will pass. Like you say, speed is only good for bragging rights when the cap is 50GB.
I am in a Verizon ILEC area so maybe some day I will see fiber.  I will see pigs fly before that however.

1 edit | I actually do have a legit use for the speed, and it's not P2P. I work from home sometimes and have to download/upload large files. I mainly got the upgrade for the upload.
Work pays for my home internet connection, up to $100/month so might as well make of use of it eh?
Maybe one day Embarq will wake up and smell the coffee, but right now they are happy overcharging for local phone service and DSL. Given that a lot of consumers in my neck of the woods are on satellite, it is likely that they are also on DSL. |
