In addition, most of central Silver Spring is covered by XO Communications, although coverage stops short of Forest Estates in the west and Highland View in the east. Central and western neighborhoods in the Zayo Group service area include Sanford, Chestnut Ridge, Monterrey Village, and Glemont Forest. Through Megapath, all of Silver Spring has access to high-speed internet service, as well.

Unbelievably bad. I've never had more than 300 Mbps but I pay for a 1Gb plan. They raised my rates from 75 to 113, and then with no warning and outside my contract they raised it to 150. For 300Mbps. I'm so fed up.
