[QCLUG] Residential Internet Options?

Mediacom cable internet can be great if you get a good tech. i used to be a
service tech for em so i did my own install, and it works fantastic. i
average about 800kb per sec upload and just shy of 7mb down. if you get a
good installer/tech who knows his stuff, you can get some great service. if
they dont, ur in trouble.

Quest has great service too, so dont fear giving them a try either and if
its a new house, you are using existing fone line making it a relatively
easy install.

either way, its good stuff. to heck with mediacoms video services though.
just far too pricey and very little in the way of options. go dish.
