    yeah the vpn is worth it to me.. because my connection's gunna be 16MB/s & it'll make the difference downloading on bittorent from 15kb/s to like 250kb/s.. so yeah very worth it

    well, it used to be adelphia here. honestly, they sucked balls. then comcast took them over because the president embezzled a whole arse wad of money and adelphia went defunt. so much so that a past bill of over 1,000 dollars was wiped out. everything started at zero. lucky me. but comcast is 20 times worse than ball sucking adelphia.

    You do not have any more choices?

    There are 2 major satellite internet providers. You can get high speed Internet anywhere with them.

    I'm not sure about that, I'm pretty sure they do have some really good speeds, but its comparable to cable at around twice the price

    + they cap your dl at a ridiculously low amount.. like 10 gigs lol. && you have to pay if you want more.. & if you dl more than that you are punished by them cutting your bandwidth in half lol
