I'm currently in the process of buying a house in a major U.S. city, ideally located near a school and in the heart of the city. However, The house, despite its central location, only has access to a 4-7 Mbps max speed CenturyLink twisted pair connection, which is astonishingly slow.
My attempts to resolve this issue have led me into a frustrating loop between ISPs. When I contacted Comcast, hoping for a better service, they informed me that it was CenturyLink's territory and they couldn't provide a connection. However, when I reached out to CenturyLink, they countered by saying it was actually Comcast’s area for broadband service.
It's bewildering to me that in 2023, in a major U.S. city, there are still areas where you can't get a decent broadband internet connection. To provide some context, this area was an old red-lined district, which has recently been gentrified, partly due to the tech boom in the city. Had to give up on a perfectly good house that my partner and i loved because of this
- appleskeptic 3y agoStarlink is probably your best bet for now, which is ~100/~20 depending on your area. I believe you can also multi-home two (or more) Starlink services and get double (or triple etc.) that.
- kelnos 3y agoYep. I live in San Francisco, one block away from a major fiber trunk, and my "best" option for broadband is cable Internet from Comcast. Right now the max upload they offer is 35Mbps, even with their 1.2Gbps download tier. It's absolute garbage. The only positive is I'm not limited to something even more useless in the download side like you are.
