Whose internet service doesn't suck? - Index - 2011-03-07
Here in NJ my family pays a lot for Cablevision's package. Between the clunky TV service, awful customer support, and sporadic internet service, I just want to know if anyone (preferable someone from around the tri-state area) has any suggestions as to which company we can jump ship to.

The link above is a Southperry SpeedTest Wave I just set up. Hopefully makes things neater.

While my speed sucks compared to any conection in the US, my conection is quite stable and acceptable.

Honestly, I want to see if Verizon's FiOS is all it's cracked up to be.

Comcast has a moderate monopoly imo over Internet in the US, they've taken over alot of the smaller ISPs and a lot of America doesn't really have a choice of ISP aside from Comcast vs ATT to my knowledge.
I don't understand why they haven't learned from Asian ISPs, our speeds are so bad compared to Japan/S.Korea.

You have Verizon FiOS in the area?

YES! I have worst upload speed. ^__^
Yeah, I'm really disappointed with my ISP, and we pay quite a bit IIRC.

Oh lol. So far the 2 other northeasterners who have taken the speedtest are at the very bottom.
There is no hope for us.

Cox doesn't necessarily suck, but sometimes... the internet quality is piss-poor. My dad pays for 50 Megabits per second (that's still pretty low compared to some other ISPs or other internet services in other countries), but quite a lot of time, we have speeds like this (and sometimes, even far worse) :

Look at their pings. They must be directly connected to an ISP server or something..
Anyway http://www.speedtest.net/result/1189680833.png This is me on wireless.

Mine is okay. Gets the job done. I have a strong new desktop that I do nothing but Maplestory/World of Warcraft on, I don't go on the internet or anything with it. So that helps.
And F3 shouri my school's internet is weaker than my one at home, it's sad.
Edit: But yeah I'm in New York, really close to you.

FiOS anyone?
And yeah, it's with these kinds of stats that I can cast games decently. xd

My internet was okay the first month, I think we switched a few months ago. Now it just randomly shuts down.
I'm okay with the speed though, it's no big deal for me.
