One thing I notice about this whole broadband competition (Blue Ridge vs. Comcast).  Is that BR is just as expensive as Comcast in terms of price with only slightly lower speeds.  Yet I cannot switch to Comcast due to legal issues with Comcast not being allowed to have their service in my area.  Go figure that I don't have a right to a choice in cable providers...

So much for the spirit of competition and the free market economy. Welcome to the land of the free : /

If you are using cable providers to gauge the free market you should have that Welcome sign dated earlier than 1990.

It is merely indicative of a larger more systemic problem.

You continue to be the unexplained exception.....in more ways than your internet speeds ;)
Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

THAT  UPLOAD SPEED! I WANT IT  :bigcry:

**yes I am yelling at Comcast for this. I will gladly sacrifice the 4-5mb/s dl speeds increases for 4-5mb/s more of the uploads at this point.

I'll take 15/10 please and thank you (vs the 20/5 I'm getting now roughly).
