Dorset where else eh? >>> Thats ENGLAND<<<
Mine is unlimited with no caps and no descernable traffic shapeing ( AND no Extra added on to the Bill )
My line rental (Tax) is also lots less than B( Rip you off £16.75 + vat )T at £9.85 + vat

Pity i can never get more than 5mb due to the distance from the exchange

edit
i download between 5 to 10 gig a day on average and my ISP has never ever listed daily/monthly download/upload totals

Well, after the fiber cut in the New York area causing havoc on the east coast the other day... my internet went haywire; I was getting 43Mbs down & .5Mbs up with errors, plus packet losses.

After they repaired the fiber, mine never normalized... so, I did some testing on my end and concluded it was in the field somewhere.
I called Verizon repair and had the greatest tech on line and gave him all my data I collected during testing.
He help me, never read off a script, knew all about what he was doing and how things worked... we did a little back and forth testing.
Concluded it was in the network and needed higher help... well, the CEO was busy counting his bonuses (<--humor); so, he contacted some engineers who proceeded testing in real time (getting the tech and I to run some tests) got back to us in about half an hour.
Found the trouble... fixed it and this was around 9:30 at night.

I have to give them a big "Thumbs Up" for this customer service.

Anyway, I have 75/75 service and this is what I got, when it was repaired ... they never told us the details on what they did, but I am grateful.



Just thought I would share a good experience with ya'll.

No.



I'm certain no one will believe me, but actually, none of this is porn or torrents. It's what having a active steam account and streaming movies while hosting an active website can do.

Charter is one of the better ISPs. I'm stuck between Knowology/WOW and Comcast. I pay the same price now for 12/3mb/s for what used to be 70/15mb/s with charter. I could get 50/10 with comcast for the same price, but my family won't use them, because comcast.
