I was helping a friend pack her truck for a cross-country move the other day, when I was approached in her driveway by a very official looking gentleman in a blue jumpsuit and a baseball cap, holding a clipboard.

"Pardon me, sir!" he said. "How are you this fine day?"

"I'm doing well, thank you..." I said, dubiously.

"Sir, today I am in your neighborhood to find out if... Continue reading

    Nice! I have AT&T, and their customer service sucks! You are always stuck on hold for at least a half hour... and you never know if you are going to get someone that is reading a script or actually knows what you're talking about. I can't even get comcast or charter at my apt, because the complex only allows some crappy internet service in here, so it was either unreliable crappy internet, or dsl. Kinda sucks... but it works I guess. The price is pretty cheap, too. I'm glad there is an isp that has good customer service out there, though! :)

    Sweet deal!

    Maybe it's time to buy a modem and quit paying that monthly fee, though.

    Oh yeah? Well I talked to a comcast customer service rep who told me that the connection sent to the router was SO FAST that the router couldn't handle the speed which is why the internet wasn't working. SO THERE!

    Customer service is key in the ISP industry. Our broadband WiFi provider is kind enough to come to the house every time they get new hardware that'll improve our speed and reliability. They replace our antenna and its controller boards frequently; never jacking the bill up and always trying to get us more for the money. I don't think I'd switch to cable if it were available at this point.

    Garg, I used to own the modem - in the end, it's cheaper to lease because I would have had to buy three modems over the last 4.5 years at almost $100 a pop. I pay ~$2 a month for the modem lease and they upgrade it whenever they need to.
