Network speeds are rated in Bits Per Second. Kbps is KiloBits per second (1024 bits), Mbps is MegaBits per second (1024 kbits) * Prices all reflect residential service - business class service costs are higher from all providers. "up to" speeds and costs are based on information from each provider's web site, "actual" speeds are based on locality-specific data from speedtest.net. Some competing providers offer multiple service levels - information here is selected based on the closest comparable speed or price to what we offer. We are currently the only Internet Service Provider in the area who guarantee a minimum connection speed. |
