Which ISP ?

[area51]

Been with comcast for years now and I am sick of paying upward of $100 a month for basic tv/ highspeed internet... I don't want their land phone line since I have no use for it..

Don't care for ATT either... Any other players in the sf bay area ?

Go with smaller Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs). One of them in SF is called Monkey Brains

I've been pretty happy with Astound in Daly City. I have the 110/10 service with a terabyte of bandwidth for $80 something a month. The service has been steady except for the recent rains we had slowed things down a bit.

Comcast usually works with me when I chat online with a customer service rep about lowering my bill. I have had better luck through the customer service chat on their website than I have over the phone. I usually just ask nicely and be polite and they get me back down close to the "promo" prices that new users get.

When wireless is lighting up, I would like to see what IPs are chatting with what IPs on the outside (netstat-able, or equivalent). It would be nice to be able to monitor my son's DNS queries, but not really needed.

I like the looks of that Monkey Brains ISP, but you must be quite close to the antenna. Restricts it to Mission/SoMa/DogPatch-ish.

You mean 110mbps down/10mbps up bandwidth w/1TB cap?

Mother of Kalashnikov, I hope that bolded portion isn't true. While these ISPs think most users never utilize more than a single terabyte of bandwidth, that is a ridiculous price to pay for limited data. Your ISP plan would seem reasonable if there was no limit to bandwidth...

My first choice was Google fiber, but that is not available on my area. I can't afford a dedicated line that will give this throughput and prefer a set cap rather than packet filtering of certain content. I find a terabyte reasonable as most caps in my area are 300 GB. If you know of a better alternative in daly city I'm all ears.

Stay with cable. Fastest and easy to use until fiber shows up.

I have had great luck with Astound. Anything is a step up from Comcast.
