Mike T Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Anyone got any info on good and bad high speed internet providers. Quest has a package availble -- anyone use them? Qwest does DSL here in Bend as well, but I don't know anyone that uses them. My employer maintains a branch office (well, really more of a hole in the wall) in Bend for me, and for whatever reason I recall them not wanting to use Qwest... which didn't upset me in the least since the local cable company gives me 3x as much bandwidth. I haven't used DSL of any kind for 2.5 years now, but so far cable internet has been MUCH more reliable. I am getting 6 mbps downstream and 1.5 mbps upstream for $45 a month at home and that's *without* a package discount (we don't get cable TV, since we're not TV watchers). I dunno how thatcompares to other localities these days but it gives you some numbers to use for comparison shopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobdea Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 if you use bittorrent be careful who you choose, a couple providers are activley blocking it. I use BT allot so I'd be bent and I'd settle for DSL if my provider blocked the way I download allot of software (open source!) I hate it when I get treated like a criminal for useing the bandwidth that I pay for, if they don't want us using that much don't advertise it as high bandwidth.
