The internet came up today. Based on my previous experience with DSL, I have to admit I was stunned the whole process was so painless and even inexpensive. We plugged it in, filled in a few lines on the screen, set up the wireless router part of the whole deal and were up and running. Not only that, I checked the upload and download speeds and they were as advertised. I was pretty sad because we do not have access to cable internet on our property. We are not so far from town, but in a little pocket where it almost certainly does not pay to run the cable out here. I should have known that since the many years that have passed since we previously had DSL, they have gotten their act together. I know some of the speed and quality issues have to do with how close one is located to a hub and we are pretty close so that might be why everything works so well. On the other hand, we ARE close. That was a dodged bullet.
how fast are we talking here?
speedtest.net screen cap?

Great idea David! I will do it when I get back to the house. 40 Mbps up, 5 Mbps down. I will probably end up doubling both of those for my work. But that is precisely what I got. I did the original test with speedtest.net.
That is good news. I have never had DSL, just dial up and cable. But like you, where I live it is not a choice, it is just using the only option available.
