Connected Now with New ISP, Plus Gripes about Now Very Limited Bandwidth

By Darryl Hoytt on May 21, 2007 5:34 PM | 0 Comments | 0 TrackBacks

I’m up on my site after totally moving off of my previous ISP Surewest due to my moving out of the area they service. I am missing them already.
I had physically moved a couple of months ago but had not rented my previous house yet so I decided to keep my music server, my web server and another computer at my previous residence until I rented the place out for the outstanding and superior Internet service that Surewest provides.
I am now paying more money for a lot less. With Surewest (surewest.com) I had 20mbps up and 20mbps down for 49.95. With Comcast I have 8mpps download and 786kbps for upload for $52.95. Do the math and the upload speeds are 25 times slower with Comcast than with Surewest and this is important since I host my music and web servers at home! The downloads from Comcast are only 2.5 times as slow as with Surewest.
Now Surewest has fiber and that’s why they are so fast and now offers even 50mbps and soon will offer 100mb per second! This is where I get very upset in the new housing development I moved to Comcast as well as AT&T have fiber lines but still offer only copper wire packages and speeds.
Who in the world cares if you have a fiber cable offering but cannot offer fiber speeds and packages? Then when you call them they brag they have fiber but whoopee who cares I’m not benefiting from it and neither is anyone else with fiber connectivity! I get the same speeds as a person on their copper infrastructure.
Then to get a static ip.address with AT&T I would have to purchase 5 static ip’s with a starting price of $85.00 @ 3mps download and an anemic upload speed I cannot recall. With Comcast to get static ip’s you have to go to their business package that starts @ about the same price as AT&T’s static ip offering. Plus each company buries this information in hard to reach areas of their sites. Surewest only costs $2.95 for their static ip.address.
