You don't have a high speed Internet connection??

This is what my plan calls it. "LTE INTERNET INSTALLED 20GB" i believe it was called Home Fusion at one time.

Yes that's what they call(ed) it. Thought about getting it a few years ago until I read reviews about Verizon charging for phantom usage. Don't know if Verizon has fixed the problem or not. :confused3:

Thanks!

Doesn't look like it's available at my address, according to this:
Verizon Wireless - Explore - LTE Internet (Installed)

Sorta feel like Charlie Brown when Luci "T"s up the football for him... ullinghair:

I can't wait to see what's coming our way. AT&T has been in the area torpedoing and laying sleeves for what I think is fiber optics. I've been getting ad-mail from AT&T for the last five years advertising a "package" deal but high speed internet/DSL wasn't available out here. I started with dialup in 1998 then a wireless broadband company took over the IP business in 2005. They came out and installed the antenna and modem for free if I took the service. It was supper fast compared to dialup but now that I see what others get by today's standards, it's like dialup all over again. I get about 3Mbs down and 1.5Mbs up during non-peak hours. I can rarely view YouTube videos unless I watch them early in the morning. By 8pm, internet access drops to a crawl as if everybody must be streaming movies or something.

I look forward to joining the 21st Century when it becomes available out here.

Update on my install...

It's working fine while I am getting things done around the property...

A Mormon family is interested in renting for one year and has asked that the Comcast be removed.

All I have had is grief over the last 12 years being rural and no high speed... bite the bullet for Comcast install because tenant says they will stay long term but need Internet... found a deal on a home to buy the same week Comcast went live... and now the new prospective tenant is asking to have it removed.

I shouldn't be surprised but none the less.

The only phantom charges i get is when my nephew connects via wifi and watches a bunch of videos, then i get the not so phantom overage charges.

Okay thanks for the update. Apparently Verizon has fixed their phantom usage problem. That's good to know. Will consider "LTE INTERNET INSTALLED 20GB" in the future.

Then they aren't the right renters. No one in their right mind would move into a house without a high speed Internet link. Tons of professionals would love to work from a home located in a lovely rural setting, and that's not gonna happen without the Comcast link. Besides, aren't you stuck with a 2 year contract?

Could you say more about that Verizon system? Maybe just a Verizon catalog number? I'd like to talk to Verizon to see if cellular coverage is strong enough here to provide me an alternate to satellite Internet.

They call it Cantenna. Think of an antenna in a can.

Likely you have 9Mbps (mega bits per second) while downloads are 600KBs (k bytes per second). As you know, there are 8 bits normally in a byte, so you have to divide the 9Mbps by 8, giving you max 1.125MBs (mega bytes per second) without any overhead. 600KBps is reasonable for short downloads, downloading multiple Gig files should yield somewhat faster speeds (usually less overhead).

Wow I was sure asleep at the switch and didn't notice the bites and bytes .
