Well, I think the time has come for a new ISP… Speakeasy has been great, except for the fact that they shouldn’t have sold me this service at this address to begin with last year, and while we had it working decently for a while, it’s degraded quite a bit over the past couple months and there isn’t anything they can do. I’m anywhere between 19,000 and 20,800 feet from the central line/circuit/switch/whatever (depending on what test they run), and you’re not supposed to be more than 18,000 feet from it…
Yesterday they repro’d the line and it seemed to help, but now we’ve got a storm coming through and of course, it’s dead again, and I am currently on a hijacked wireless connection.
So, DSL would seem to be out of the equation since they’re all going to be on the same backbone, so it would be the same problem with a different company.
I’ve poked around on google some tonight, but can’t find a decent directory of broadband providers for the area, all I can think of is cable internet through Cox and fiber optic through Verizon. What other options am I not thinking of?
Edit: Oh, it’s definitely time. I’m running on a hijacked connection with near no signal, and it’s still faster than the DSL was running when it was up…
