i pay $70 a month for internet..

Mr. Johanssen · 05-22-2008, 06:19 AM

That about 100 bucks /month for land phone, internet, digital cable and movie packs (3 recievers, one dvr/hdtv)....
This is their middle internet speed package, like 30 a month for this alone. The 50 a month is about 20mb/s.

If you are paying for a 20mbit connection you are getting ripped off, your bandwidth is maybe at half that right now. Granted there is always over head but still, I would call and complain.

100 feet won't really make a difference. CAT 5 starts to lose quality in signal at over 100 meters (300 feet).

$30? Wow Thats good for that speed although the upload is just as good as my 5mb

We will be getting verizon 3mbps dsl for $30 a month, that seems bad after reading this.

If I'm using a wifi 5.5mbps connection, and am getting a 1/5 or 2/5 connection, will 3mbps be better? My neighbor lets me use their wifi, and it's been bad lately. I can't play any online game. So will a 3mbps wifi inside my house be better than a 1/5 or 2/5 connection from my neighbor's house?

-On speedtest, I got 800kbps download, and 500kbps upload for neighbors.

we might get charter 5mbps if it is a lot better than dsl.

I pay about fitty a month. I think the advertised speed is 8mbps or something. The package also comes with basic cable for the same price but I don't want any of that.

Also I'm connected through a wireless router.

^^ Decent down speed but overpriced! With charter you can get that same speed for about $15-20 less.
