Premium Internet whats your thoughts?

system · November 15, 2008, 4:44am

So I have had premium Internet service for 5 years or so, I was getting good speeds until I moved over to the eastside of town, My connection over the last 3 months has been crappy with internet going down 4 times in a month, it takes a phone call to citywest and I’m back up.
So the tech guy (David who has been very honest and a great guy) asks if I want to go out on the Fiber optic lines instead of the telus lines. I will loose my 3 Ip’s but at this point I don’t care I just want a internet connection that is stable, so I switch. I’m still on Premium Internet so my speeds are good, but I have to reset my modem at least 2 to 3 times a day…FUDGE…ME…
So I will give it a week to see what is happening! but I’m wondering if I should go to Cable internet? save 10.00 a month.

So you cable internet guys how do you like your service?

Thanks

I’m kind of sick of Citywest.
I know it’s not their fault, but I’m paying for premium, and not getting premium speeds.
My room mate, pays for buisness DSL, with a static IP, and his connection is BARELY faster than mine is.

It’s completely retarded.

the premium internet is good …

when it works.

every time citywest messes with my settings the modem crashes in a continuous cycle from 5 pm to 12 am (and I don’t know about 12am - 8am because I’m sleeping)

so that my friends, is pure crap
