I have a bundled service from RCN and the Internet is 25mbps download, 5mbps upload. Tried verizon fios for less than a month and I ended up switching back to rcn for a better cable experience but verizons Internet service was not bad at 50mbs download.

I currently use Verizon. It’s got a descent signal but the cost is a tad much now that more and more services are coming down in price. I’d love to try a different carrier at my li’l house down by the river!

I have Verizon FiOS at home, 15/5 although I’ve been thinking of upgrading to 25/25 cuz it’s only $10 more. And who doesn’t need MOAR INTERNETZ?

Time Warner Turbo – Decent speed for an ok price. Pretty reliable.

I’ve got ATT Uverse. 3 megabit for 35 bucks a month. I’m not in love, but it does the trick.

our at&t wifi is ok but could certainly use an upgrade soon

We have FIOS, and it’s amazingly fast if you have a copper wire connection. We get 75 Mbps (9+ Megabytes/sec) routinely, even on SpeedTest.net. I’m still very interested in the idea of the Virgin Mobile hotspot though because it’s cheap compared to FIOS.

I use Time Warner Cable for internet. I love how reliable it is in my area, but they now charge to “rent” their modems, and their billing is annoying. They don’t tell you when promotional periods begin or end. Great service, but customer service is quite annoying to try and work with.

I don’t have any other Timer Warner Services and I’m completely ok with that.

I use Comcast. Pretty fast download and upload speeds. Rarely any service interruptions once we upgraded the cable modem.

RCN cable provider. With more HD channels available than Verizon Fios I found the the picture quality was better. Happy Holidays Everyone

Verizon Wireless…. their service is lightning fast and is pretty much everywhere, but their phones leave a lot to be desired in terms of flexibility and updates. Plus they no longer have unlimited data if you want to upgrade…

They have FiOS. It is rather fast on the net side, have not used the TV nor telephone as yet. And I was very pleased when the new router arrived at how wonderful CS was at helping me set up phones, laptops and even using the online interface with explanations of the various options within it. The TS did not seem to mind how long it took to get it done as late as it was in the day. We even did speed tests as we talked using 2 different sources as the reason for the new router was problems with the OnDemand side of FiOS.

Thanks Android Tapp and Virgin Mobile for the contest!!

Time Warner Cable here. Can’t complain, speeds are decent, price isn’t too bad, and only a few very brief outages in the time I’ve been a subscriber.

Verizon. The service has been pretty good overall, but the web portal for account management is atrocious
