Default fastest internet service

Will be moving into Gilchrist in Feb-ish. Don't have closing date yet.

Wondering who has the fastest, most reliable internet service for our area.

Enlighten me please!

Thanks!!

You said fastest twice, so... check at comcast.com > Exfinity Internet > put in your address to make sure they will service your home. They offer Extreme 105 - that's 105 Mbps, insanely fast - with an insanely high price - $79.95 for the first six months, $114.95 after that.

They offer other very adequate speeds for less moola.

Why do you think you need all that speed? Are you streaming several HD movies at a time? A family may need that speed with mom and dad and their three kids ALL streaming/downloading at once. In my opinion, for most people here in TV, anything more than 10MBPS is wasted money.

Is 10 mbps enough to stream movies to my tablet? What about on demand on my Tv?

Yes, it's more than enough assuming that you aren't streaming more than one movie at a time.

Check prices. Comcast gives 29MB for same price CenturyLink offers 10MBs. They, Centurylink act like they have higher speeds, which they do, but expensive. Compare prices. No Brighthouse in our Village.
