Just Installed Century Link Hi-Speed Internet and...
...Virgin Broadband2Go sucks the big one!!!
. I owned/ran a business w/10 employees for 34 yrs. and I gave executive-style service...I expect a company to do the same for me when I pay what they ask. F'g Virgin took my monthly payment and gave me sub-standard service for years. I finally got off my ass and made the move. Phuq 'em! . This CL is so fast that my computer is jumping all over my desk. With Virgin I couldn't even get online at times and when I did it was as slow as dial-up and my mouse was sluggish and uncontrollable. Also, at times I couldn't even compose/type on my gmail. . Virgin = $40/mo. CL = $30/mo. for 1 yr. then $40/mo. . I'm happy!!!

No idea what this means but here it is:
. Ping 41ms Dnload speed: 11.35 Mbps Upload speed: 0.82 Mbps . 75.171.47.94 Century Link Rate Your ISP (2 out of 5 stars) . BTW, I'm paying for only 12 Mbps...but comparing it to Virgin...it's fast.

 I'm at work on a wireless laptop. Dignity's home server is in Phoenix apparently. Upload and Download are about the same - atypical of most connections. Glad you like your new speed. It is good to check. I get 30/4 with Charter at home at the right time of day. |

Just been playing youtube videos and no more stop/go, waiting and waiting, interruptions, etc.
Where as before w/Virgin when I downloaded youtube tunes I'd only get 3/4 of the full boat...now all is well. I waited way too long to dump Virgin...my own fault really...lazy, I guess.
