ISP Change

by Drew Dahl on Apr.24, 2010, under Random, Rants, Site News

Well, come this Thursday, we will be going offline due to an ISP Change. Recently Midcontinent Communications start serving our area, and I must say I’ve been waiting for this for the last three years :-) (Fargo’s out of luck though. Poor guys.) Anyway, I’m switching from Cable One who’s been throttling the connection

Comparison:

Cable One vs. Midcontinent

Contracts?

Yes vs No

Throttling?

Yes vs No

Price?

$56.99 vs $56.99

Down Speed?

5Mb vs 25Mb

Up Speed?

0.5Mb vs 2Mb

Personally, I hope they give Cable One a run for their money. Their television and phone is way better for the price, but we won’t get into that here ^_-

Anyway, what does this mean for us? Well, they’re running new cables starting at 5pm CST, and as long as everything goes well, we’re looking at a 2-3hr downtime, so we should be back up and on-line by 8pm CST with a much faster speed :-) . Should really notice it on your ends! Enjoy!
