CableOne

[PSiedTSi]

I pay for a 5mb connection with cableone but generally get 8+...

[FG2]

That's with the "5mb" connection. :rollseyes:

[KA-T_240]

cheapesst cableone available.

Now the real question is....who has faster internet in **<u>fargo </u>**than Cableone? I've tried a couple DSL's and they were HORRIBLE...like dial up horrible.

[PSiedTSi]

First of all, don't use the Grand Forks test as its extremely slow(look at those ping times even, "Twin Cities" is about half that)...and how many of you are running applications in the background like AIM or MSN?

gay 5mb connection, at my place. what a ripoff

I dont even know why I pay for a 5MB connection? but it does seem to be faster when playing online with Xbox live compared to when I was paying for the 3MB

[KA-T_240]

Winner....

Don't feel bad if you are disappointed with your results...

[FG2]

Here is the shop's DSL connection....as far as we know, it is our ONLY option (cable is for surely NOT an option)....Yes, we pay money for this crap.

Qwest is horrible.

I tried them once.. A 7 MEG downstream and the best I think I ever got was like 1 and 1/2..... Poorly advertised.. Not to mention the latency(PING) was horrible too..

I was seeing 100+++ ms ping/latency. Totally horrible service to go through if your into any sort of online gaming. Not to mention I was on a trial and took the modem back before I was stuck on a contract & they than tried to charge me (even though I brought the stuff back to the Qwest kiosk in the mall, assuming it was all taken care of)

Cable one is easily >> Qwest...

To be honest, I have yet to come across anything better here locally than cable one, but there could be better options.. Just haven't come across it yet.

Downstream & Latency is good for Cable one.

I think I am 3-5 Meg down stream and getting to nearly 6 meg downstream connecting to a wireless modem on a laptop with programs running like MSN/etc.

I wonder what NDSU's was... cuz when I was there u pretty much click download on anything and it was done in no time... I remember back when napster first started it took me 35 min to download one song... needless to say that was the only one i ever did... it was like 24K... we have "high speed" now and it's barely any faster..

[Rexwagon]

WTF i just re did it and gayness

[integra_gsr98]

My house.

I installed an OC3 at GoMoorhead in May. My laptop plugged directly into a router connected to an OC3 to Qwest. 155mbit/second down..

You are lucky, when I tried qwest, 702 and ideaone, the fastest I ever got was about what Jason posted up....absolutely gay. Then I went back to cableone and haven't looked back.
