ISP Change

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!
