!@#$%&* internet service providers.
Here are my choices: local/regional DSL, currently in a 1-year contract with them but that's for 8Mb service and I'm now only getting 3Mb after an actual person (finally) shows up and determines that my routine (4 times in the last 6 days, and several times before that) outages were caused by a modem on which I'd already run the diagnostic tests and it passed. Also saw fit to remove the line splitter...huh?
Other option is Comcast...Most likely go with business-class so I can get around the Fascism. Verizon won't bring fiber anywhere near IL even though their wireless footprint covers almost the entire state, AT&T UVerse is stuck in DeKalb....
Small(ish) town = no competition.
