Luckily I was able to get AT&T Uverse 5 or 6 yrs ago when it was finally available out in the county. The company I had been using was sold 3 times in 2 yrs and service kept getting worse.
Tje fiber optic cable is down at the road but I have no clue as to how much it would cost to run it up to the house. I am thinking it is around 300 ft ad a guesstimate.
I am not sure what the speed is 8 miles from town but even with dsl working over copper at the house, we are able to stream 2 tv’s plus a laptop and occasionally my phone and my Kindle all at the same time.
None of the devices being used very seldom stop to buffer.
If we lived in town, we might have a couple of more options but one is a cable company. With how often the cable companies are sold in this area, I would still have AT&T.
For those who have no choice with Comcast, I would research further because there has to be another option. I live in a small town, pop. almost 6,000 and we have at least 3 options and that doesn’t include satellite.
