Have Sat TV - Who provides your internet service.

[Claude Greiner]

Why use a faster connection as your backup at home, and not primary?

I originally was not happy with the upload on the WOW connection.

I called Wow the other day and they just launched 600 meg service in my area for $99/mo.

I upgraded to that and I was still getting 300 meg service until a few hours ago when I spent $500 on a Netgear router with a 1.7ghz quad core processor.

I get about 350 down 50 up on my wifi on my iPhone and 700 down and 50 up on a wired connection on my computer.

Netflix rocks, all their HD content plays immediately and the 4K content has a 2-3 second delay.

Comcast sadly enough is my backup until they launch their 1 gig service.

The only difference with WOW is the connection seems more stable with my Ip phones which would generally loose connection every time there was a blip in my connection.

I'm in rural SE Kansas / SW Missouri and my only wired option for internet is Fairpoint. 20mbps DSL, achieved via bonded pair. It's downright reliable and cheap, $50. No data caps. I'm happy with it, but would purchase higher speed if it were available.
