Hi everyone,

I'm moving to the use in a couple of months and i was wondering what the best ISP is?

What i need:
- Fast(more then 8mbit DL speed)
- Unlimited download(or more then 100gig/month)
- Available in Arizona(Phoenix, Mesa)
- P2P friendly(so no throttling etc)

Thanks!

I don't know too much about ISP's, but if you can get FIOS in Arizona, go for it.

FiOS is your best bet in terms of speeds/price. Avoid Comcast if you want to torrent.

Cox is good...In my area the same service and price as fios.....I refuse to get Fios because i hate Verison....

comcast actually isnt terrible compared to some smaller companies but when compared to fios it isnt even close. fios is by far the best but if they're not available comcast will probably be the second best since you know its reliable.

FiOS is the best, but don't be surprised if you have billing problems. The $10 off per month that they offer in their package deals? They haven't been taking it off, even after numerous calls (and saying that they would do so numerous times). But we're just not paying them that $10/mo. and if they cut our service there's gonna be hell to pay...

What I heard about FIOS is that you get insane uploads as well as downloads so it's totally worth it. Most ISPs will cap your upload big time.

Well let see if the Federal Govt in Australia is the real deal they reckon by 2015 Australia will have FIOS :frusty::frusty:

I don't think Fios will come to Australia. Verizon has territory in parts of the U.S., but maybe your local ISPs may introduce fiber optic internet.
