Who is your ISP?

[Trifid]

Thought this would make a helpful thread for people migrating (if you have that in the US), and I am bored/nosey. Why did you chose them as well?

Format of:
ISP
Connection speed:
Cap:
Why:


ISP: Enta.net via Aquiss
Connection speed: 8Mb at 6400k sync.
Cap: 30GB 8am-10pm, 300GB offpeak + weekends.
Why: I chose Enta primarily for their high allowances and no shaping. They also show the status of the network (real time load for each of the central's.) I chose Aquiss because their support impressed me.

 

[Jam3s-Zer0]

ISP: BT
Connection speed: 2MB
Cap: Don't know and don't care. I D/l & U/l as much as I like since i'm switching soon.
Why: Because my Dad picked them but i've convinced him to switch to something better for the next few year i'll be living with my parents.

I do not advise anyone to get internet from BT.

Hmm, migrating? I doubt it's any bit useful for that, but nonetheless semi-interesting.

ISP: Qwest DSL
Speed: 192kbps
Cap: None that I'm aware of...but it's DSL.
Why: They have the only high-speed internet available where I live, the one other alternative is satellite, which costs $600 setup/$80 month...while Qwest is charging $35 (including the modem).

And let me tell you, moving up from dial-up...hah, it was fun entering the 21st century!

ISP: Chello/UPC ( owned by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Global,_Inc. )

Type: cable

Speed: 3Mbps/1Mbps

Cap: none ( fair use policy ofcourse )

Why: Works well.

ISP: Charter cable

Cap: none?
