I can't really soeak too much on DSL, but I had it in Boston years ago from Verizon and it was arse. Same thing for satellite - no idea what to expect, although weather can be a bastard.


Sadly these are my only 2 options... and despite taking billions from our government, at&t did 0 infrastructure upgrades on the dsl in my area. Been at max capacity for half a decade+. So I'm forced to endure the locals at the bar on game day, cause antenna signal is questionable af too

Not to anyone in specific: And why do people say cut the cord? Is your cable internet somehow a different cord than your cable? 9/10 it is not

I live in a densely populated area of Bham(280/Inverness area) and we still only get U-Verse DSL up to 25mbps in my area. They've been promising Fiber for a couple of years now, but still nothing. Charter is the other option, but everyone I know with it says they have pretty frequent outages and evening slowdowns.

I rarely have trouble streaming to 2 or 3 TVs in the house with just the 25mbps plan, though speed tests show it usually caps at around 17 or 18mbps.

Our hunting camp in fairly rural Etowah County gets faster internet than I do at my house in Bham.
