    ISP in Western Tennessee Help

    Hey guys, I am looking for some advice on looking for an ISP in Western TN, Dyersburg, TN 38024 to be exact. It's right outside of Jackson. I am moving there with my fiance and looking for an ISP. I am currently running on Verizon FiOS 20mb connection. The only company I found that services the area is Cable One the highest residential service they offer is 10mb for $55 or so... I pay the same for double the bandwidth with no limitations.

    The problem here is that for my job I do daily uploads and downloads of upwards to 12gb. Cable One only allows a daily 5gb u/d limitation under their Acceptable Use Policy... the policy only allows uncapped bandwidth during 12 midnight til 12PM CST. I really don't know what to do, I can't work my entire schedule due to their poor bandwidth throttling. Any suggestions or anyone from that area who could offer some advice?

    If their "blazing fast" 10mb connection is $55 a month, I can only imagine the nightmarish prices they would charge for business plans. I need to call and get a quote from their local office tomorrow since their corporate offices do not control the prices of that.

    Hi! I used to work for them, I'm here to tell you that you're fucked, sorry. There's nothing else in that area IIRC from the sales training. They do offer commercial packages that go up to 20, but those start at 200+ a month. The buisness plans in general start at 100$ a month, period.

    Your best option is to get the mid tier bundle package with TV service if you want that - the speeds on the bundle packages higher than what they advertise, or at least they used to be, but only for the packages that were not ghetto.

    Edit: Also, if you torrent a lot prepare for rape face. They trottle the hell out of your connection if you go past certain limits during the day.
