    Default Recommendations For Best Internet??

    Hi,
    I'm going to be getting my own internet.
    Question: Which company is better? Time Warner or Verizon? ( I think they both are named something else now).
    What should I ask for ( insist on),in terms of upload?
    Anything new I should know about, technologically speaking, other than I should be hardwired?
    It will be my first time having internet from a company like these.
    In the six years I've been Camming , I've used:

    Clear.com,, sprint, at&t wifi, twc wifi, karma.com, and metropcs tethering, and direct t.v.
    They all kinda sucked .
    Thanks in advance .

    Fiber Optic if you can get it!

    I have a Time Warner package as they have a monopoly on everything around here and as notoriously bad as they are I've honestly never had a problem. Totally just jinxed myself saying that I bet, hah.

    We have Verizon Fios and I couldn't be happier with the service, especially the speed! I haven't had any problems at all streaming. The connection has been solid even in some rough weather. We got the 300 Mbps package and I've been pleased with the upload speed. I probably don't need that much, but it's worth it in my opinion.

    Can you ladies give me a price range I should expect? And how much did You have to pay upfront to have it installed?

    We got a free installation promo that Verizon offered. I pay about 170 monthly for speeds up to 300 Mbps (which used to be reimbursed from my employer), but they have packages for 100 Mbps for a lot less ($60-$70 range). I'm in the Sunshine State, so I'm not sure how prices are elsewhere. The Verizon Residential website is helpful and have loads of options to pick from. I think right now they have something like a 200 dollar gift card or free installation as an incentive to get people to sign up, but you might want to check and see if they offer it in your area. I wish I could be more help, but I can definitely say that I'm pleased with them. Very smooth service, even during all the tropical storms we get!

    **I should also mention that Verizon is now called Frontier here, just to clear up any confusion.
