Re: [MBZ] My new internet speeds

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

Yes I find it very interesting as well. I'm paying for the 12 package. Only 
think I can figure maybe is its their top package and maybe there is not a lot 
of traffic on my tower/radio and it just runs full throttle until traffic 
increased to bring it to the 12. I guess we shall see.

Re: [MBZ] My new internet speeds

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

We've got internet only with the introductory price at $39.99. I think it goes 
up to $45.99 in a year. I don't want a landline no matter what a "good deal" it 
is, paying more for something I don't want is dumb.
Angie has DSL in her office and they're tapping her for $70/mo which includes a 
phone line she doesn't use. She's run her whole business off her cell phone for 
15 years I don't know why she let them talk her into the landline. Its all 
telemarketers anyway...

Re: [MBZ] My new internet speeds

[rogerhga--- via Mercedes]

Kaleb, 
I hate to tell you this. I live East of Atlanta in the country and I have 
Comcast (Xfinity) cable. I only keep them because of the internet speed as 
measured on Speedtest.net which is: 
download: @ 90 mbps 
upload: @ 12-13 mbps 
Now, I'm somewhat saddened because my download was running around 98 mbps and 
since the scale only goes to 100, I was wondering what would happen if I went 
over. My SIL and daughter have Windstream (phone line) and they get maybe 3 
mbps download and less than 1 mbps upload to which Windstream says they don't 
guarantee the speed they are charging you for. But they still get to charge 
you. All of these cable / internet outfits have bought the local politicians 
and state public service commissions so you have little chance of getting any 
meaningful help. 
One other thing that might help as it may be helping me. Years back when I was 
getting weak signal, Comcast installed a "signal booster" in my basement. Now a 
couple of years ago they replaced the line to my house (I live about 400 feet 
off the mainline and all cables are buried) and put a box in, but didn't take 
out the signal booster. I don't know that it helps, but it might be worth 
trying as I don't think they are that expensive. 
Best Wishes,
