      Is that FIOS? I called them last week to see if they could offer me any upgrades after being a good customer for the last 7 years, and paying almost double what new signups are paying for 75/75. The nice lady kept me on the phone almost 40 minutes saying she was going to "see what she could do" but in the end she could not do anything but offer me 100/100 for an additional $40 more per month. No thanks. :-\

        Nope, small town ISP. All of their connections are dedicated bandwidth "business" connections. My 150/150 connection will come with the guarantee that I will not experience congestion on their network or their trunk. None of that "good enough" crap. Getting 0.01% packet-loss with 20ms of jitter? Call that in and they'll fix it. I've done it before. less than a 30 minute turn around in my few experiences over the many years.

            If cows, beer, and cheese are your thing, then we've got plenty of room. Don't expect a city night life. Mostly hicks around here. Funny how our farms have better Internet than most of the USA metro areas.

                How about deer, beer and cheese?  ;D


                Actually that pretty much describes where I'm already at except for the awesome internet connection.

                  We got plenty of deer around here. That is going to be a messy oven. But don't worry, we have a bunch of local cheese factories this strong European artisan history. Always deep fried curds.

                    With all due respect, this thread is getting a bit unfair now with 150/150 AND deer AND cheese AND beer.

                        Upgraded. HFSC shaped to exactly 150 for both up and down.

                          Getting upgraded from 100/100 to 150/150 and lowering my bill $40 to $50.

                          FML.  I'm paying ~$65/m for a 30/10 link via a crappy TP-Link Wifi router with shit QoS because $300+ for a home router is just too expensive for me.

                            You could always look for 2Gb fiber from Comcast, but for $300/mo.
