Also worth mentioning that Hughesnet has data limits as low as 5gb/month during regular hours and 50 for off-time hours. They used to do a 200mb daily cap, but I assume people kept hitting it rather easily. I used to at least, when I committed the high crime of watching youtube for an hour. Atrocious pings are no joke either, I averaged 600-800ms. Unless you live in the literal woods, there's usually DSL available. I switched as soon as AT&T came to our area. <100 ms ping, x4 speed, half the price, free installation. Comcast has been utter garbage in my experience (surprise surprise) and whenever I have to deal with them at my parent's house I have to resort to cancellation threats. I never did figure out why our outage was going on. They had two no-shows (which I negotiated to be free of services charges because they wanted me to pay per visit) and would pingpong me around to different departments. It's sucky because I imagine the outsourced tech support people hate their jobs, I hate their service, and its a crappy situation all around. Right now im on Suddenlink in the pacific northwest. Despite my initial hesitation, they've been my favorite ISP so far. They gave us a free speed upgrade a while ago across the county, from 50mbps to 75. I've had about 3 hour-long outages in the 8 months I've had them. Luckily they're always resolved themselves. Happy camper with them so far.

Thwomp posted:So this is something that has always caused that weird itch in my brain to go off. I read somewhere on this site that Comcast is broken up into multiple zones across the US, managed by different branches/divisions/whatever. Seems to make since, as its a monumental company spread across a pretty large country. But it may explain why service is horrendous in some areas and spectacular in others.
