Best ISP

[ffunk5]

What is the best ISP in the US specifically midwest with the fastest upload speeds and download speeds.
thanks

If it is much like Canada then you will probably have to say what region of the US you are in. Some cities even have their own private ISP which out rivals some of the larger companies.

What about in the Northeast US? I'm using Verizon right now, but the not-so-good speeds are asymmetric.

Don't you only get like 5GB of bandwidth a month and if you go over they pull the plug? Thought I read an article on it a few days ago. Just curious because I was thinking of going with Verizon but then read that.

Verizon fios is good. But not available nation-wide yet, you should check at your local office for more information.

Nope, I know for sure that i use more than 5GB a month, haha.

Verizon's pretty reliable in general, but not perfect for filesharing, since my upload is still 45kB/s. :pinch:

Definetly not duetsch telecom! 50 euros a month for 400 kbps dl 100 kbps ul and have no other choice of isp's. Monopoly's still alive and well in germany!!

My ISP is Cox and it is great. 9mb down and 4mb up... 45 dollars a month. I get a deal because I have phone,cable and internet. It comes to like 100 dollars a month for all 3...

Verzion with fios > RR. cause fios has either 2mbps or 5mbps upload speed.
Verizon with dsl < RR. cause RR has 30 days Retension Free Newsgroup access.
