So far my list includes Comcast, EA, and Nestle. Tell me yours, and I’ll help out.

    I’m so glad T-Mobile 5G covers my area now. Before that Cox had a monopoly and I was paying almost 200 a month. Now it’s 40 and faster download speeds. Ping times are similar… I’d recommend seeing if any wireless providers support home Internet near you

      Same, except it was Verizon that came to my town. Also was paying close to $200/mo for 500 / 30 Mbps and a data cap. Now I pay the same as you and get 1400 / 80 with no data cap. No ping issues in Counter-Strike 2, either. 5G fixed wireless is way better than people make it out to be.

      Of course, once more and more people realize what they’re missing out on and hop on the bandwagon, Verizon will eventually become just as shitty as the competition (and so will T-Mobile). Just ask anyone who lives in an area with a FiOS monopoly. Such is life.

        Of course, but for now it’s a nice improvement. Hopefully something else will come along once these guys get as shitty as Cox is now. It’s nice that there’s an alternative/ competition at least. Which is required by law but somehow something I had yet to experience
