New ISP on the block
I’ve been stuck with my local shitty, overpriced cable for the past two years ever since ACS rolled out their limitless dsl that’s still not available on my street. Here dsl is better across the board. You’re not forced to get every communication medium under the sun in order to get decent speeds. I mean, forcing people to sign up for an $80 package of digital cable, cell phone service, local and long distance in order to get cable any faster than 1Mb? That’s criminal. The package comes with cable, but it’s your grandma’s cable internet running at about 256Kb down. If you want anything faster it’s an added $30/month. Assholes.
Clearwire was just rolled out here in AK (in my town at least. eat it valley!). WiMax internet up to 1.5Mb for $5 more per month than a 512Mb cable or dsl connection with no monthly bandwidth limit. I’m ditching cable no question.
I was going to sign up for it today after work, but some guy had to leave early to pick his sick kid up from school and he took the modem cabinet keys with him. It’ll have to wait until after work tomorrow.
