[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3320979, member: 29706"] It honestly depends on where you are as to what services are available. One key phrase that will be included on any internet package is "up to" they never guarantee minimum speed. Now if you are not too awful far from town and have line of sight to a friend or family members house where good internet access is available setting up a wireless link is always an option. You may not get the same speed at your home as what is available at the main uplink point but it will likely be faster and should be fairly reliable. I have done something similar for someone else and he went from having a Verizon MiFi that cut to dialup speeds after a week or two to having a 25Mbps download that was pretty stable and a lot more reliable till real service was available.
