Re: Doesn't matter to me...

said by Rob See Profile :

Doesn't matter to me how they give me my connection. All I ask for is:

* Speeds that are competitively set with other providers in my area as well as meeting or exceeding the average tier plans in the country.

* Priced reasonably with the option to downgrade my service speed (AND PRICE) and upgrade my service speed (AND PRICE).

* Stable and reliable. I understand that my service can be interrupted and sometimes events outside of the control of the provider will hinder my service, but, like my telephone service, I except a stable and reliable service where my uptime exceeds my downtown by no less than 99%. This includes reasonable ping times.

Too much to ask?
No. I would also add:

* No Speed or Download/Upload Caps. IOW: Delivery of the promised Speeds (no Up-To BS) and no Limits on How Much I can Upload/Download.

* Upload Speed should be fast enough that it does not throttle a full-speed download due to inability to send the Packet ACKs fast enough to keep the download flowing.

* If you ARE going to monitor my Bandwidth Usage, I want an accurate Monitoring Method (like that offered by Hosting Services so I can track my Usage as well as reasonable limits (ie: Set at some reasonable %-age of the 24/7 speed limit).
