I'm about 16000 cable feet from the central office and I'm getting ONLY 5.96
mbps.
I'm about 14k' copper from the nearest fibre getting 3.5mbps ?? Best
they can do they claim...
the phone company has to provide to everybody that wants
service, no matter how many miles out in the sticks they live.
land line phone service, not necessarily decent dsl. I knew I should
have been getting at least 4mbps not 1>>1.5 based on distance to box but
19th Centurylink's response was "call your ISP". Nada. Paul, my local
small time ISP, was getting ignored. I was told up front by 19thCL to
subscribe to their service if I wanted any kind of service. I finally
had to bend over and drop Paul and sign up for a 19thCL package. 2 techs
were out the next day and spent all day cleaning up our line. Our local
energy coop is exploring getting into broadband. Especially after our
latest 10-day outage. I hope they go for it. Anyone know of local energy
coops in the broadband business? I've heard anecdotal evidence of some
success.
