PEAK PUTTERS

Using clearwire at 1.5 meg download speed and want something faster as my two year contract with Clearwire expires this month. Costs 43 bucks right now a month and I can only put the modem in one spot in the house which sucks.

What do you guys use?

I too had Clearwire and switched to Charter 5Mbps after my Clearwire contract was up, was able to lock in 32.99 a month for two years with Charter. Much faster and not as latent as Clearwire. FYI when I attempted to cancel Clearwire they made me ship the modem to them and they wouldn't cancel my service until they received the modem in the mail. I tried taking the modem to the local clearwire store and they wouldn't even take it, said I had to mail it in.

I'm having huge problems with my Verizon DSL. It has always been a bit slow, but now it is intermittent. If they don't fix it Monday (their forth trip out) I'll be going with Charter.

I'm using Dish Network right now instead of Cable. Can I get high speed from Charter without getting Cable?

What about Quest? Anyone use that?

yea we have charter without cable tv. 10 meg is like $60 a month and it has only gone down once in 3 years and that was for an evening.

I have tried Clearwire, totally sucks at my house.

I paid the big bucks and went with Charter. I hate their customer service, but it is by far the best and fastest connection. I have internet service only, no cable TV.

The DSL thing totally depends on where you live. . .

I have 3meg DSL and it is pretty good. The only thing that I can say for certain is the Verizon's customers service is the WORST. They suck. They don't speak ingrish and they don't know how to fix anything. . .Now that I know that you can get Charter w/o buying cable TV. . .I may just look at that!

Clearwire sucks in my neighborhood and I know nothing about Qwest. . .tried to look into it when I got high speed to begin with but they didn't have service in my area.

Pocket iNet sucks donkey as well. . .we have them at work and when their antenae goes down, it is a disaster.

FWIW, We have Pocket Inet at work -- going on three years. Great service, never been down during business hours. We are set up for 100mb/sec for $100.

I went with Charter. 35 bucks a month guaranteed for 2 years.

At 5mbps its over 3 times faster than my Clearwire (1.5mbps) and 8 bucks a month cheaper. Not bad. Had to ship the clearwire modem back to cancel my service after 2 years but I expected that.

Just got it installed today and no problems with my router.

For the computer savvy, what are the advantages in going with a wireless N router over my current DI-624 Dlink wireless G router?

Distance of the network? Speed?
