Who is your ISP?

I have Frontier DSL [ $19.99/mo ], get about 2.8 mbps down/.66 up.... AND I AM A HAPPY CAMPER...!!! I am out in the boonies/had dial up for years [ about 4.5 Kbaud down, K as is Kilo] ... and life could not be better... No Comcast within a couple miles of me, and the cell/sat service would be too much more buckazoids...... I might not be zooming at 30mbps or more like some, but I like it out here in the woods.... I have DishNet Family Pack for TV, the cheepo package they do not promote, which comes in at about $30 a month encluding the $5 for the local channels... [ but I buy expensive stuff to put in the barn and dig stumps ]

That is about the same speed as I have. It looks like the DSL price is tough to beat.

Tough to get much more than 10Mbs via satellite. DishNetwork will give you 5Mbs for $39 and 10Mbs for $49. You "might" save a few bucks if you bundle with their TV. Worst limitation on satellite data service is the monthly limit - so you need to be sure you have some idea of how much data you download in a month. You can get that info from your current provider. Of course, with better performance, you can expect that you will soon exceed your old constraints.

I have Dish for TV. I checked on my tablet, in the past 6 days I have used 800MB on it. My Cell phone does not use much. IDK how much I use on the computers though. The middle package looks pretty good but I may need the top package. Which is $70 a month. They also charge a $10 a month equipment lease.

We have a bvu optinet ( a local provider) and we have 50 MBps upload and 20 Mbps download with cable tv and home phone for $99 a month. Little bit spoiled

That would be awesome to have something that fast.

We can only get Verizon, but at least it's 4G.

No DSL in my area, and SAT is too expensive.

AT&T LTE and Wildblue satellite here. Just outside of the fixed WiFi coverage.

Another plus for DSL is that there is no cap on downloads.. Most sat and cell ISP's limit you, or make you pay more for more content per time period. Not saying it's better than faster downloading, but it is different.

Agreed. My satellite and LTE connections are at least twice as fast as DSL but I'd trade for those reasons alone.

Since moving to Arkansas I now use Windstream. Not all that great but works. It's definitely a lot better than the ISP SCtelcom I had in Kansas. Steaming video was painful on that connection. It'd take an hour to load up a 20 minute video. lol And I was paying $70.00 a month for that he double hockey sticks.

I now have 6 MB down and can watch a 20 minute video in 20 minutes like it's supposed to be.

Sometimes the speed will drop to 1 MB at night but I can still watch youtube and browse the web just fine with that.

And now I pay $55.00 a month for an internet connection that I can actually use.
