Re: ISPs in Blaine

I have the Comcast 12mb internet service, combined with their BASIC cable antenna service. Pay $58/month, and that is after all the cheap 1yr offer stuff. Not too bad. I wish they had a slower service, like a 6mb or something that I could opt for, for cheaper. But they said the next slowest option is 1mb, and I'm not willing to go that slow.

I do like them over Qwest though. I always had issues with Qwest internet dropping out off n on all the time. Also I'm going to be upgrading my cable service, and have heard too many negative things about DirectTV becomming intermittent in bad weather, which is the exact time I would be sitting inside watching TV.

So in our area, I guess I'd recommend Comcast.

FYI, here is a test result for my connection (Blaine, Comcast 12mbps). I have no idea what's good or bad, but someone smarter than me might be able to say.
