I get that or better in West Fargo via midco.....just upgraded to DOCSIS 3 cable modem service. It pretty much pwns

But your in the new area where they were able to put all the fiber optics. it's to expensive to put that shit in the older areas.

Well sure, you can get cheap fast internet in Japan, but there certain other freedom problems with living in Japan or SK.

For one, my wife would make me a "free man" if I tried to move us over there

So would you rather have internet that is censored?

I'm sure it'll come to that eventually anyways.

Anyways, the point I was making was that internet service, from the country that invented it, shouldn't be as shitty as it is, with some exceptions(midco). Plus it's been around for what, 30 years or so, so you'd think a person should be able to get a decent connection without a lot hassle for a lot less than they do. But i guess the same formula works for ISPs as it does for medicine, it's more cost effective to treat it than to cure it.

And how the hell does midco go from West Fargo, skipping Fargo completely, to Moorhead? That's BS.

Contracts.

When they are allowed to move into Fargo you bet your sweet ass they'll do that.

How many people who are complaining about cable one are downloading music/movies legally anyways?

Who says it's just for movies/music?

Online gaming
Large program downloads

After fucking with it for awhile, it seems to have fixed itself. Sorry to start a big debate.

Oh and btw, I talked to a midco guy who checked into my hotel a couple weeks ago and he told me they will be coming in to Fargo within the next 2 years. I hope he is right!

Comcast doesn't slow you down after downloading a certain amount like CableOne. CableOne blows ass.

I was pretty sure they had a monthly cap? idk about your service specifically, but I'd be willing to bet there is one...

I have access to midcon, but it is kinda pricey, but then again you get a lot more than CableOne lol

Uhhh....Tony, Cableone's standard package for internet is $49/mo for 5Mbs down and 500Kbs up. Midco is $35.95/mo for their "preferred" package (2nd slowest they offer) and is 15Mbs down and 1 Mbs up.

Comcast has a 250gb cap for residential service; Business class is true unlimited.

Did I say anything about it being hard to install? No, I said it was expensive. Get your shit straight if your going to be a successful troll.

I was more talking about the "total" package...it seemed steep, but like I said you *do *get a lot more than cableone.
