I’m moving in with my SO next month, so I’m in the process of finding an internet service provider as he doesn’t currently have one. I’ve never done this before, so I was hoping to get some opinions from the doper community.
It seems that the only two big ISPs in our area are Comcast and Verizon. I’d rather not go with Comcast, as I’ve never heard of anyone having a good experience with them. Verizon Fios sounds good, but I’d pretty much have to go with a TV/internet/phone bundle, as the cost for just internet is just a few dollars shy of the bundle price (and for some bundle configurations, it’s an extra $5/month to not have TV and phone :dubious:) If anyone has some suggestions for a small ISP that serves central/northern NJ, I’d love to hear them.
I’d also like some opinions on internet speeds: how fast is your home internet, and are you happy with it? Do you think 15/5 mbps is fine for a casual use (web browsing, streaming video, netflix, etc.) or is it really worth it to bump up to 50/25 mbps?
Any experiences or opinions you can share would be greatly appreciated!
