Re: Internet and televson options for small town Texas

JALLEN wrote:I just signed up with Guadalupe Valley Telephone Coop this afternoon for cable, internet and telephone service at our new home. It is north of New Braunfels, about 5 miles up FM306, and Time Warner, our current provider, has no service there. It is semi-rural. The current occupant has Dish Network, GVTC telephone and internet. I signed up for 8MBs and for an extra $15/mo can go to 12MBs, and as high as something like 80 MBs. It is on a fiber optic line. Since I will not be flying drone missions from my house, I thought I would try the 8MB service. The speed test here with Time Warner this afternoon ran 8.63MB download and about .75MBs upload.
I'm pretty sure that's who my daughter uses in Fischer. Haven't heard any complaints from them. They have "triple threat" service: Cable TV, ISP and phone.

Re: Internet and televson options for small town Texas

Being in the big city isn't all that better. Uverse in my neighborhood barely lights up the wire - as in .7 "rlol" "rlol" after they tested it. Comcast is really the only alternative and the "high speed" ISP I pay them for averages about 5-6bps even though they advertise minimum of 12 and that's what I pay for. Being it's network setup and I'm on the end of the line it's often extremely poor. At times I can't even watch a streaming movie on Netflix w/o constant (every 15 seconds) freezes/ re-buffering. I've never tried satellite service.
