Just been on it a few days, so still checking it out, but so far, so good!
South Central Indiana REMC strung cable from the poles that have brought us our electricity pretty reliably these past 40+ years at this address, especially the last several years.
Another outfit was racing them to bring their hookups using buried cables, but I liked the idea of the REMC getting the business, and my nephew works for them, too, so I was glad they edged the other company out and got here first. I haven't tested our speed yet except to compare with some known sites that are ALWAYS slow to download, but the difference is like night and day. Google Earth comes online quickly and brings the sharpest resolutions in almost immediately, instead of taking minutes. No buffering on the vast majority of u-tube vids, and I even streamed a couple of movies in high def!
Signed up for the highest available plan they offered, but it's still less than half what we were paying for a much lower speed and limited number of gigs per month with the hot-spots we've been using the last six months.
