      hey all, looks like i'm moving to FL in the near future for work.

      Haven't decided exactly where yet, but looking at the Ft Lauderdale area.

      Currently have 150/10 with Cox. It's alright, speeds fluctuate quite a bit.
      I'm honestly planning on downgrading the speed. I very rarely find anything that maxes out the connection for our household, and those things are never time critical.
      I've also got pfSense doing some great work with dummynet & fq_codel now so really not worried at all about lower bandwidths.

      Probably looking at a 50Mbps plan?

      Any recommendations that are:
      Not going to force me to use their own equipment (already own stuff)
      Cable Modem only
      No weird configs that will mess with a pfSense config - I really just want to plug my router in at the new place, change a setting or 2 for limiters and move on.
      Not just a total sh*tshow as far as ISP's go? i.e., not constantly throttling connections, reliable service, etc.

      Prefer:
      very consistent bandwidth (Cox I have now is subscribed at 150 but often dips down 120 even to 100 = annoying).
      Cheap per Mbps
      Respectable Upload speed - but doesn't need to be anything special.
