      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.
