Re:Comcast cuts off customer for going over 250GB of legitim... by VonGuard on Wednesday July 13, 2011 @09:01PM (#2761302)
Here here. I have had Speakeasy since 1999. I used to love them with a passion. But over the years, they've basically stood still. My bandwidth has never increased, even when they said I could get 15 MB down. That turned out to not be possible (Major packet loss, unreliable connection). So, here I am paying the same amount I paid in 1999 for the same bandwidth I had in 2000. $100 a month for 3.0/768.

I hate it! But there are no other options in my neighborhood, except Comcast. I even live in Oakland. If I was in SF, I could get Astound, which I hear is awesome. But in Oakland, where I live, it's Comcast or something super inferior.

Speakeasy has had about 10X more outages this year than they have had over the past 12 years, BTW.
