I thought I'd died and gone to broadband heaven. With satellite we had 2 - 5 MB/s upload and much less download (as long as it wasn't raining or snowing or icing), that worked sort of most of the time - with a lot of buffering - for $95/month. With OEC fiber, we have 100 MB/s up and down, with service solid as a rock 24/7 rain or shine for about half that, with an option to upgrade to 1 GB/s for another twenty bucks or so a month. So far, I've found that 100 MB/s is faster than I can make use of anyway, so have seen no need for the 1 GB service, which would be like driving a Lambo to Walmart and back. OEC is Stupid fast, and never breaks (at least not once so far). Calling up Hughes.net and canceling (and calling up AT&T and canceling DirecTV) were two of the most enjoyable phone calls I've ever made, followed closely by telling my roofer to throw those two antennas in the dumpster when we got our new roof put on. Good luck, and trust me, I feel your pain.</p></blockquote><p></p>
