Do you remember having dial-up? Let's do a little study...you go back to dial-up for one month and then let us know if you'll pay $50 or even $70 when no other high-speed options are available. The vast majority of individuals have no idea the costs involved in running and maintaining a small ISP/WISP. | |

| Good Up and Down Compared to other local services, beamspeed has the best up and down I've seen. The times you're getting your paid bandwidth is much better than with Time Warner Cable or Qwest’s DSL. I’ve seen the local cable, DSL, and beamspeed all in action and beamspeed seems to perform better than either alternative. For instance, with DSL, my download speed always came below 800 kbps, even though I was paying for 1.6 Mbps. That’s less than half the bandwidth. With cable, my download speed was usually consistent but my upload speed was constantly falling under 300 kbps (paid for 768 kbps up). Only a third of what I paid for. I’d say Beamspeed is definitely the ISP to go with if you live in Yuma. Good customer service, easy setup, reliable Internet, and you get what you pay for! | |

| Beamspeed is a really good option if... ... you live out in the rural areas where DSL and Cable aren't available.
However, as the previous gentleman mentioned, they are very consistent with their speed. If they tell you that you're getting 500K/s speed, that's what you get.
I have a friend who lives in Somerton and she's paying Qwest the ridiculous $79 per month fee for 7Mb/s download. That's supposed to be over 7,000Kb/s, but when I ran a bandwidth test over at PCPitstop.com, it consistently downloaded at only 1,250Kb/s !
That's ridiculous if you ask me. She's only getting one-fifth of what she's paying for!
Then, my sister, who also lives in Somerton, also has Qwest DSL and is paying for the 1Mb/s service. She hardly every downloads faster than 500Kb/s, which is half of what she's paying.
Not to mention, her service is down more offen then up, so she's really frustrated with it already.
I'm sorry to say that Qwest DSL seems to be very poor quality. I've been using BeamSpeed for the past 2 years and couldn't be happier with it. It's always up and you get what you pay for... simple as that.
