Do you get Clear coverage?
http://www.clear.com/coverage They let you rent a little hotspot which provides 3g/4g through your house. You can buy or rent the device itself, and pay for the service. I used it for awhile when I got dumped off and was moving around the state on my own. I don't know if it's fast enough for you, but it's convenient. |

I'm moving into a new neighborhood, but unfortunately it's too new. Neither Comcast nor Charter service the neighborhood and AT&T only offers 6 mps DSL service. Are there any other options? TIA USSA-1 Only? I can't get anything more than 3 mbs. Well, actually I can but I refuse to ever give Cox another dime of my money. BTW, 3mbs has always been plenty fast enough with 3 users and at least one video streaming on a regular basis. |

I'm in the same boat. The only other option I have is HughesNet, which isn't really an option. I've been on AT&T DSL for a couple of years now.

Only option you have if there are no other ISP's that service your area are.
Clear (but it's pretty much limited to a small area outside Atlanta) it's wireless so packet loss, signal strength etc all mean your connection wont be nearly as stable as a hard line Tethering a phone from either Verizon or AT&T (data caps in place and if you go over expect to pay $$$) it's wireless as well everything noted above applies Basically 6MB service from AT&T is infinitely better than either option above. |

I've got 18 mbs with Charter, so having a 3x slower connection is not making me very happy at the moment.

Going from a 18mbs connection without Charter, Knology, or Comcast...basically means your screwed.

TIA USSA-1 6mps should be ok i would assume. i had a t1, and att DSL extreme 5+down, .5 up. discontinued the t1, got comcast 20 down, 10 up (biz class). but the ATT DSL works fine too as a back up if comcast is down. this included downloading MSDN operating systems, development packages and Oracle databases. I also streamed Netflix with it and that worked fine too. the comcast though is much faster, though i pay a lot for it with a set of static IP addresses. |

Check out clearsucks.com What kind of promo rate did comcast offer? You can work comcast like a 8.00/hr illegal alien when the 1st year is up. They will always negotiate before they will lose a customer. I always do that, I have them down to $130 for phone, inet and cable. When the 12 months is over call cust service and tell them that you are changing providers b/c they are too expensive. They'll cave. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
