1 edit | Competition/UpgradeSince TCT doesn't have a forum here on DSLR I thought this was the next best place to post especially since Bresnan and TCT have been in a heated competition in the Powell market for awhile now.
It seems as though our TCT internet was upgraded from a 10/5 connection to a 20/5 connection either yesterday or sometime over the weekend.
Price wise Bresnan is $52.95 standalone for 8/384K service and TCT is $42.45 standalone for 20/5 service.
Here are comparisons of Bresnan in Powell from a friend's house (he has the 8/384 basic tier) and TCT in Powell from our house. I told him to monitor his Bresnan connection to see if it is consistently that low or if it is just peak times...

1 edit | Would you ever think you would hear someone say they are jealous of Powell?
I see about the same from my Bresnan account here in Cheyenne. |

2 edits | Hmm.. I'm getting a steady 18mbps here (downloading 2.1MB/sec + overhead).
Where in Billings is your friend at? I've *NEVER* seen speeds like that in the southside or by Pioneer Park. |

4 edits | All tests were ran from Powell on different service providers - the Billings/Casper/Cody labels are segmenting off the speedtest servers. Bresnan in Powell does go through Billings though - first hop outside of Powell in fact.
These are the two routes out of Powell on Bresnan's network, I cut the traces on Bresnan's last router before leaving their network. The first route must be the preferred route though since most traces take this path.

Interesting. I am happy to say that my 8mbit connection is finally working correctly. I can download torrents at about 950k/s. My pings are low and the connection is stable.
If I had the option of fiber or a uverse type application, I would gladly hop on that, but Bresnan basically has a monopoly here since Qwest sucks. (I would probably be a Qwest customer if they offered 7mbit where I live).
Right now I am satisfied with what I have. My combined bill each month is $117. That's 8mbit package, standard HD package cable and DVR. It's a bit high, like like I said, no competition and I do not like satellite TV.
I may or may not upgrade to the 16mbit package in the future, right now I really don't see a need for it.
