In the USA we don't have much of a choice. Regional monopolies.
T1 to internet from ATT. 3G / 4G Cellular as very "spotty" backup (was primary for 2 years).
Multiple IPs provided from ATT.
Soon they will be doing a 20mbit fiber survey... I would be so excited but I'm rather sure we're too far from where they are at.

need to call a guy who can run a 90 mile point to point connection and sling a nice fat pipe to you!
only 10 miles?!? sheesh! EASY HOP!I wishActually 10 miles to ATT DSL or COMCAST or ATT FIBER... we're just at the VERY END of electrical, and phone.
I have Cox Home Office 15/3. Not great but it was the cheapest business class tier at the time. In fact at the time I got it I was able to get a better price than Residential at the same speeds $39/m. I guess that plan doesn't exist anymore but I'm grandfathered in; although my contract allows them them to raise the price up to 10% a year, and they do.
AT&T Business Uverse @ 24/5 with 5 statics. Had Comcast before we moved to the new house, where we have no choice. AT&T is so much worse than Comcast.
Monopolies suck.
Monopolies suck.
FOR SURE.
My brother's house has ATT DSL and he doesn't even get 50%, ever, any time. He has trouble streaming more than one stream, which means it's basically as slow as my T1 without the SLA benefits... or cost for that matter, haha.
The T1 SLA is sure nice
I've gotten 2 or 3 free months so far, which is NOT BAD for living so rural, over a 2.5 year time period. I had an outage (big one) fall during two billing periods, that sucked.
TWC buisness, 100/month for 35/5 and 1 static, apparently that's supposed to be a 400/month charge though and i'm getting a discount, i'll likely drop it for home service and go back to using dyndns now that i don't need the static though. Wish i had more choice about high speed though
Charter... and I hate them, but the other choice is DSL.
They have node problems all too often, which causes me to post things like this to their FB page.

WOW.Charter... and I hate them, but the other choice is DSL.

At-least with the T1 I get pings in the teens to the west coast, and super low to my servers in Texas too.
Your connection is a hair puller I imagine...!!!
I have 125/20 with Comcast and I think any copper internet service to the home is inherently bad. I have had lots of issues at the Comcast node that services my home from noise being introduced and impacting the node.
Can be, isn't always bad... we had an outage yesterday, hoping whatever was acting up finished dying and got replaced.
We don't have choice either. Charter cable or DSL. So cable it is. Get about 22/3 speeds. I didn't really care much, but after I realized that my cloud backups don't go that fast - decided to upgrade Charter. They offer other plans "up to 60" and "up to 90" . Funny part - it's download, upload same 3mbits. Crazy stuff...
In office I have ATT Fiber 25/5 with 5 statics. Very happy. But I'm first one to use it in a building (everyone else on Charter), they pulled wire just to my office out of their fiber box This one is very stable and reliable.
