Worst internet ever. It goes down every day and they say its because of the lines here and they refuse to credit us or repair. It is the only internet service here and they know it so they wont help us. I'm in the process of collecting money to pay comcast to run cable down our road. I can't play any new ubisoft games since they require you to register with their server every time you play. I discontinued my WoW account since I can't play. This is ridiculous! I'm tired of being treated like a second class citizen by my isp.

Privacy is a distant second regarding their online service subscribers. It's all over the news. I am NOT a customer with a gripe, just an American concerned about all those unalienable rights that have been chipped, eroded, and compromised over the past eight years.
