<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">I have to agree. It seems the providers have really managed to "fix" their systems so the burst data rate is awesome. The first 5 megs or so scream!!!</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">Then it crawls after that. </p>

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">In Payson I am using SuddenLink (cable) and I love it. I had 7MB CenturyLink (Qwest, DSL) and it was awful. My Pastor had Centurylink at the church and I could never convince him to switch. I would show him my speedtest.net ratings of ~ 17 MB down on a 15 MB connection. He had a 7MB connection and speedtest.net would always say his connection was ~ 5 - 6 MB down... But Netflix would stutter. He is a huge MLB fan and watches all the games online, but they look horrible and buffer constantly.</p>

He cannot believe how much faster it is, and it's 1/3 the price!<br /><br /><br /><br />On Thursday, May 09, 2013 13:49:35 Lyle Tuttle wrote:<br /></p>
