whats best embarq dsl or mediacom highspeed?

[jamie]

we live in west santa rosa beach & have mediacom. just last week i canceled my cable service with mediacom & was informed that my internet was going to cost $60.99 per month. i really wanted something less expensive & called embarq. they informed me that they do not have anything remotely as fast in our area as what we have with mediacom. she went on to say they didn't have anything as fast as what we get anywhere in this area. so it looks like we are stuck with expensive internet because we depend on it far too much for our businesses. as far as problems, we have not had too many problems with the service. i just wish cox served our area; i used to pay only $24.99 per month with them!

I am now on month 3 or 4 waiting for a response to my email to Embarq to see if I could bundle high speed w/ my phone service. :roll:

For some reason, my desire to use their service is diminishing!

you can buy faster speeds for embarq, which makes it faster than mediacom and embarq is not down as much as mediacom. Does not go out during storms. I think embarq is a lot more reliable.

So you have a generator that powers the modem?

Have you tried calling them or checking your spam folder for a response?

Uh, maybe Alice doesn't lose power during storms, either, swgb.

No, it's not in spam and this is more fun - want to see just how long it takes (current bet is forever).

mediacom, off don bishop rd. right off the bay. no problems here, maybe one short outage in the 10 months i've had it. i'm not happy with the quality of their cable service though.
