Quote:Anyone have experience with this? I'm looking to move and the new house only has access through them. They offer a 40 Mbps download with a 5 Mbps upload which should be fine.


We use Netflix a lot and I game online a lot as well, by the numbers it seems like it should be fine, but I've never had DSL before.

 

This is the first time I've heard of it.  40 mbps would be finefor Netflix, but if it's over satellite you may have issues with games.   And I doubt you'll actually get 40mbps speed.  Their webpage says $59.99 a month, but there is an asterisk and virtually no information on the plan.  My guess is it's the asterisk of death (modem fees, introductory prices, mandatory bundling, taxes, animal sacrifice ...).  Then you have to worry about data limits.  The truth is these companies don't want you using Netflix.  They want you on their TV service and offer you side internet so you can look at the occasional cat pic.  This is their ideal customer. It all sounds sketchy to me.
