Hi-Speed Internet service
 
I'm looking to get Hi-speed internet service for my home desktop computer and I do not have a landline telephone. I currently have Directv of which changing is not an option. Who do you recommend, what is the associated monthly fee and what is the download speed?

Thank you in advance for your input.

I use Comcast. Alone the High Speed is $66 per month which is outrageous but it's my only alternative now.
PS- I also have DirecTV and love it. Comast TV was terrible along with their service.

Depending where you are....if you're in the southern 40 you should have choices between Comcast, CenturyLink and Brighthouse

That is an enhanced internet service that offers download speeds of 105Mbps

pbkmaine 10-23-2014 05:13 PM

Those numbers are very impressive.

I wonder if you have Extreme (105mb) or just a great connection? I have Blast (50mb) and consistently get high 50s download, 11-14mb+ upload.

Not sure this will help, It is hard to tell cost of just Internet for me.

I have X1, 220 channels, DVR, second X1 box and DTA, Blast for Internet for $117 + taxes. This is a first year cost. I forget what it rises to

Don't call it comcast as they have a bad reputation. I think it's xfinity?

That reputation is well deserved. And comcast = xfinity.

From what I read, you were supposed to be automatically upgraded to 105mbps if you had Blast.
