My Telephone providers are idiots

As an update on the DishNET, we did run out of any time data on the first month with 3 days to go on the month. I think at least 2 gigs of that's was getting sons tablet set up/downloading games/music. Regardless, after hitting the limit, Internet surfing really wasn't that slow. It may have been a fraction slowing loading a Web page but not a big difference. We did notice a big difference actually downloading anything. What took 5 minutes on DishNET with data now took an hour on throttled speed. Not a deal breaker; and so far I'll give it a B grade. My old Windstream would be a C on a good day; but a D- over all. Even after hitting data limit I'll give DishNET a solid D grade.

The phone company put DSL back to my area two weeks ago. I had it installed last Thursday. Goodbye Bowie Cass/Wildblue (Excede Sat), Hello higher speed, no signal loss in rain, no throttling of data, no data limit, and way less than half the price of the satellite.

My telephone providers are officially no longer idiots......
