<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Yeah, looks like I'm about 8000 yards from the CO, 1.5 miles...either just before, or just after, the cut off in performance. Unless someone pops up and tells me they run an ISP here in town, I think I'll grab 2 years of ACD. Thanks for the opinions, and feel free to keep 'em coming, I'm out of town, can't really get moving on this till Monday.<br>
<br></div>As for my Comcast service, I'm not too disappointed in it in general. 3mbit down, 1mbit down, mostly up service. Just been sucking recently. Hrm. Mebbe I should talk to a friend of mine in JAX who is a Comcast rep of some sort. :) See if there's any way to keep a forward on my email for a bit. :)<br>

So, when I told them 'I don't want your crappy basic digital cable that I can't use', they dropped my rate to $70 a month, but then they cancelled my 400 yard change of service without telling me. So after waiting all day, I rescheduled it that night, to a week from then...tomorrrow. Now I find not only have they rescheduled me from tomorrow to next Thursday, but apparently they also want a deposit. WTF? After at least 8 years of being their customer? My payments weren't THAT bad!<br>
<br>Anyhow, who should I switch to for service in the Penn/496 area? I detest AT&T, which is all I seem to see when I poke around at places like <a href="http://movearoo.com" target="_blank">movearoo.com</a>. How's ACD.net? I've already got pricing from them, and I'm fine with DSL. Is there any other local provider friendly to us that I can use? And get ASAP? I'm starting to twitch in my new house without access!<br>
