The speed is good. Mostly more than any server can support. But they are coy about price rises. The rise from $70-$95 after one year was not unexpected, even if it wasn't spelled out. They give the price for the first year but don't make the second year obvious. A year later they have jacked the price to $150, so we will be parting company. At best they hope I won't notice, but I can get more for less from Comcast now. I think you have to be willing to swap rates and change services when it suits you.
