Xbox One...

[Daryl LBZ]

I want the Xbox, but I'm afraid to spend $500 on it to become useless if I have no internet. Like I said before my internet provider (Century Link) is a ripoff, and price gouges because they're the only service available in my area. They sent me a letter in January saying my rate was going up 10% because it's needed to keep giving me the best service. BS I haven't seen a speed increase in 2 years, and I pay $77 a month now for 5mbps if I'm lucky!

 

I'm buying a house right now, and I highly doubt I pick up their service after I move in. I'll probably just use my phone.

Damn. I download at about 42 Mbps and upload at 6 Mbps on WiFi.

Yea internet in our area is pathetic which is why it pisses me off that MS comes up with this stupid 24hr check in garbage. They advertise it as up to 10mbps but like I said I'm lucky to see 5 download and 2 upload. That's no joke either.

Probably be atleast another 10 years before we see that here. In 2001 we only had dial up until about 2004 which is when we finally got crappy dsl.

Well I live in a good sized city. My problem is my router. $200 Cisco router and it likes to drop signal and restart all the time.

Wow, mine is a Netgear with the modem built in for $100. It's a pretty good router, but ever since the lightning went through it, it acts weird.

Yea mines definitely not top of the line, but I figured it would be good for my garbage internet atleast.

[Chris]

I have to support a lot of devices at one time. So I paid for a high end router

Makes sense.

I'm considering taking my 360 and all my games, and hardware to trade toward a PS4 at Gamestop. I figured it up that I would get around the $500 mark. The only thing I will miss though is GTA 5...

With it being that bad you might as well look into these hot spot services, I believe most offer unlimited data.

I know Verizon ones don't. Usually the ones that offer unlimited have garbage coverage. I know sprint offers it on their phones but my work phone sucks pretty much everywhere.

You've got it easy. On the ranch I have satellite Internet. 7 gb limit and very slow. Can't play online games and it's to slow to even use a lot of the time. Using 3G to post this right now.
