High Speed Internet in WPB? (sales, rent, how much)

[migratingredtail]

I moved to WPB a week ago, and I need to set up high speed internet service. I had AT&T's DSL in my old house. I was so disgusted by the poor quality and lack of service that I will never deal with At&T again.

So, what are the alternatives? I know Comcast offers service, but I've also heard bad things about them. What do you use, how much does it cost, and how do you like it?

Thanks,
Doug

Ok I can help you with this. I had com cast for yrs. there always issues you will pull your hair out for help nobody communicates with each other. you get so upset using these guys its like taken a beaten and you pay more.Go ahead when you sigh up there always catches ..
I change over to att I only got the middle rate speed . for 1 computer could not tell the difference in speed at all. always dependable. If there was a issuse fast service and they come out and correct at no charge and offer compensation. I can't wait till att can up the mgb. in my area. basic phone line and high speed is under $50

I had at&t at my office and hated it. I have Comcast at home and the service is decent. I have internet specific outlet (I do not split the signal to go to a t.v. and than go to the computer).

I recommend you purchase your modem rather than rent it for $5.00 a month. Available at Best Buy

I also have installed a wireless router so I can access it with laptops throughout my home. I have had as many as 5 computers using the system at once and have had not issues.

I also have a wireless printer, so it can be used by any computer in the house. I love the convience - I can be online in the living room, and print something on the printer in another room. My husband (who is a college Professor) can use the same printer from a different room

You can also get a wireless device that you can use on your computer (Sprint & Verizon both have the devices) Advantage is you can log on from home or your car or any place you want. The cost is a bit higher than using Comcast.

Good luck

Comcast is great, they are offering great packages for bundles their sales staff is very good.
