Yeah our podunk local telecom has been doing something in the neighborhood all summer long. I’m hoping it’s fiber but I’m not holding my breath.I could definitely live with that if I didn't have access to fiber.
I wish you luck. I love my 2.5 gig pipe.Yeah our podunk local telecom has been doing something in the neighborhood all summer long. I’m hoping it’s fiber but I’m not holding my breath.
Check with at&t or comcast, ask about a fiber solution. Fiber is on more current backbones altogether.I'm about to call for an ISP for a new office building we are doing down in town. My options are Comcast, AT&T, and local wireless/microwave outfit that leases Comcast backbone. And I suppose Starlink could be an option, but not really entertaining it at this time for a commercial building with a dozen or so users at once.
Our current building is only about half a mile away, and it's been Comcast for a good while. It seems to go out, like clockwork, about once every 2-3 months. THe last time they called it in, they told us cable was only "best effort" and we would have to step up to dedicated fiber if we wanted better connectivity. I reminded them we had our IP phones tied into their system (provided and bundled by Comcast), and when the internet was down, so was 911 for the building, and they are required by law to minimize downtime for telecommunication... and they shut up for a while.
The microwave outfit has really good uptime, amazingly enough... even though they lease the Comcast backbone. But their signal wrecks my wireless Carplay in my car... and it's not fast at all. It was great when it was just my SQL server sitting in the closet, but once we got a few staff in there it slowed to a crawl.
Yeah, it's available at that location. I just know when they were trying to push it as more reliable, the speed was ... meh, but the price was more than double (commercial internet plans are not cheap to begin with). And they just rubbed me the wrong way trying to push the reliability angle... like, why would I pay you guys more for supposed reliability if you can't keep the copper line up in the first place?Check with at&t or comcast, ask about a fiber solution.

Wish I could do that with Spectrum. They're the only option other than DLS. They have us by the short and curly's, so they won't apply any promotions to lower our bill. I pay $115 a month for 600/20 service.I've got Comcast, and it's been mostly reliable, as compared to Centurylink before it, which became a nightmare on so many levels by the time I ditched them, but I'm also lucky enough to be barely a mile from the CO as well. The hat trick with it has been trying to keep the bill low. About once a year, I have to go to one of their local stores so they can apply whatever promotion to get it back down.
