Looking for a good cheap internet provider I live in new jersey thinking about getting comcast?
omg thats nuts
I don't know which one is good, but I can tell you which is bad: Verizon.
They have some horrible setup where Youtube connections are bottlenecked in the northeast US. I have FiOS internet, and last I looked I was getting ~14kb/s downstream from Youtube at one time.
It's gotten better but not by much.
Verizon may have DSL in some areas, but the speed is dismal (~2Mb tops), and most areas with FiOS don't offer it anymore.is there any other plan from verizon?
They'll run one from the street to your house. I don't know how much the installation will cost though (if anything).here is my problem I don't have a internet hook up in my house at all can I still get comcast? will they install one?
300GB cap now, supposedly. The bandwidth monitor currently makes no mention of a cap though, which is odd. It used to say I had a cap and what it was.In fact, I would strongly caution against Comcast. I had them for a few years before Verizon and my internet would routinely cut out every 30 minutes to every hour.
Edit 2 - for my remark about Comcast, that was years ago. I know plenty of people that have it now that don't have problems with it, but also take into account, if it matters, that Comcast has a 250GB/month data usage limit, whereas Verizon does not.
You should be able to buy a cable modem on your own (eliminate $7 rental fee). I believe you can also do self-installation, saving that one time setup fee.this is my speed now and I pay 50 dollars a month :-(
for comcast its 34.99 a month for 20 mbps and then 7 dollars a month to rent the modem and 49.99 for installation I call what do you think?
Might as well be dial-up.
Motorola SB6121 is what I've used when I installed the service for my neighbors and my sister. It's compatible with every plan offered. It's sold on both Amazon and Newegg for $67.99. A rental is more expensive 10 months in.which modem would be good?
