The ONLY thing I can say is that they have decent customer service. Otherwise, they will manipulate their pricing and squeeze every dollar they can out of you. I've had their internet for a year and I can say it has been ridiculously slow; the only way I could hit 200mb/s is when I had things plugged in with ethernet. Also, be aware they will eliminate the lower service options and require you to "upgrade" intermittently for a quick money grab.
