Upgrade from ISP
today they were supposed to upgrade equipment to get min 5 meg down speed, or max 20 meg down, if I want. They changed appointment to next Friday, or sooner if equipment gets in. Rhino communications bought the towers in this area from my old ISP. I've been barely getting by with about
1.5 to 2.0 meg down speed for years, which isn't terrible, but needs to be better.They have an antenna on top of the house, aimed at a tower
10 miles or so away. I'll see how good the 5 meg down speed does and then decide if I want to upgrade further to 10, 15, or 20 meg. Each additional increase is $10.00. I can hardly wait.This type of internet could work for a lot of areas. Yesterday, I read a story about an area, where a realtor had to lower the price of a house by $60,000.00 because the ISP wouldn't extend coverage 200 feet, and buyers wanted high speed internet.
Would you be happy with 5 meg down, or would you want more?
