Houston, TX Internet
 
Right now, At&t is scamming me. I have phone, tv, and internet through them. They're proven to be full of crap through all the years I've had them.
  • They basically gave us a free, but more expensive deal that would increase the speed of my internet. It didn't, though. They can't actually support the faster speeds, so it actually got even slower than it was before. Of course, they couldn't do anything about it except change to the other rate.
  • Every few months, the internet at my house goes berserk. It goes out 15+ times a day and At&t has to be contacted to "fix" the problem. It's an ongoing cycle and happens again every few months, though. So time wasted on the phone, etc. etc. etc.
  • As the company has expanded in my area, prices have gone up and customer care and speed have drastically decreased.
  • Right now, I'm getting about 2 mb/second (and my server is even off!) speed when I'm supposed to be getting 16-24 mb/second. That's plain ridiculous.
  • Oh, right. The only way they'll fix anything is if I agree to keep them as my ISP for another year.

I'm not happy with this at all. If you don't have At&t, don't get At&t. Heck, even my cellphone has gotten slower and slower lately. I want out of At&t, but here's the million dollar question:

What's better? There's plenty of you guys who live practically next door to me, so what internet service works (and doesn't work) for you?

I had AT&T Internet and cable until yesterday, since I moved out of my old house into a gated community that has free Internet.

****** Media. Fastest broadband in the world.

In New York, Verizon is pretty fast, I have it for phone, tv, and internet. It may bit a bit more expensive than others, but its worth the money.

I have T&T, I've had some good speed of over years but it sucks balls too.
Its good enough to deal with but it still sucks. That's probably what they were planning.
