Oh, right, we were talking about options.
I had two options here in Seattle. Clearwire? 4g, with a modem positioned at my window, hoping it got better reception than my phone? Nah.
Or Qwest (now Century Link) DSL. The DSL has been fine. Not quite as fast, or stable (recent storms and flooding forced a lot of reconnects) but is just fine.
- LogicHoleFlaw 15y agoI'm not too happy with the situation in Seattle myself. Currently I've got $60/mo 1.5/384 DSL service from MegaPath (formerly Speakeasy). Business line to my home, very reliable. It's just not fast enough for some of the things I want to do. I can't get FiOS from Frontier at my apartment, even though there is service about two blocks down the street. And I have no desire to do business with Comcast. Clear is out of the question since I want to start doing video broadcasting. Not sure what to do here. Move to a new apartment? I might end up doing that for unrelated reasons, and just make FiOS a requirement for the new place.
- InclinedPlane 15y agoFrontier FIOS exists in some areas, and CondoInternet is slowly rolling out to places near downtown and is apparently going to start deploying in Bellevue soon as well. It's not great but it's slowly getting a little better over time.
