Obviously I went with the point to point wireless option, where I'm lucky to get 75 Mb/s downloads and 20 Mb/s upload speeds. When I lived in town we did have fiber service with 300 Mb/s which I sorely miss. The current service "suffices." We're able to stream to 4 TVs in HD including one that's 4K. Gaming is usually good. I work from home, but most of what I do is either over an ssh connection or browser based over a VLAN. For the most part it does what I need it to do. Given the alternatives, I'd rather live out here on my 15+ acres with 50-100 Mb/s service than be in town... pF> --- MultiMail/Win v0.52 pF> = Synchronet = .: realitycheckbbs.org :: scientia potentia est :. ....
