Where do you live? It's possible to get gigabit service from a handful of different non Comcast ISPs in most of the city.

- ska 3y agoComments said they don't want to pay more for gigabit (that they don't need) just to get reasonable upload speed.
- jackson1442 3y agoI’m also in Seattle and get symmetric gigabit for $49.99 all in, I’d be surprised if they’re getting 480 from comcast for cheaper. I think my provider is only available for apartment buildings but there’s likely competition from other providers that at least offer symmetric speeds.
- Analemma_ 3y agoUnfortunately Comcast is the only option in my 14-unit condo, which AIUI is not unusual for this size of building in this area. The worst part is that the much larger condo right next to us has Google Fiber :(
- ska 3y agoThat's the worst, and usual require board approval to change, which you can't get.
- jackson1442 3y agoDang, assuming you can get the HOA to sign on you might be able to get in with GFiber Webpass or Atlas (I personally have Atlas) since they’re both microwave providers. There’s no fiber to lay so all they need to do is put a dish on top and integrate it into the distribution system.
