Default Manvel, Tx People

What internet service do you use? I am currently using ATT DSL. Its horrible and Time Warner is not available.

Thanks

I don't know about Manvel, but in Alvin, all we have available is the ATT DSL. And your right it does suck. We've had so many issues with our phone and DSL in the last year that its not even funny.

Got Sky Unlimited. It's the fastest we can get in our area. Not sure if it's faster than what you have now though.

Default ISP internet connection

I have a sprint dish. It will do 7 MB download which is very good but will only do 256K upload. I also have a cable data line. It does 5 MB download and 800K upload which is fairly decent. Manvel has a new wireless system which is called SKYNET. They will give 3 MB down and 1 MB upload so they say. I am getting it installed next week. Did have a T1 but price went through the roof and the T1 went out the door...

Wow. I wonder why mine isn't as fast? Are you directly connected or are you using a wireless router?

I believe most of it depends on how busy the network is. Hey for 15-20 bucks a month Im pretty happy with my speed, but the service eh it sucks. It seems to be a hit or miss thing.
