Internet Connectivity?

Question

I currently have Charter Communications Cable Modem with a 5Mbps service & pay $60 a month. However they suck & 50% of the time it doesn't work & at all and 25% of the time it does work, my max speed is 400Kbps. They have yet to be able to get my internet working right & everyone in my area complains about the same problem. DSL is not offered in my area yet, through anyone. High speed satelitte is available but for like $150 a month. Dial up modem is just too old & too slow. I need something to wear it goes atleast 1Mbps at all times & is connected 24/7. Is there any solution to get that, without spending more money than I'm already spending? I refuse to continue paying Charter $60 a month for internet that half the time doesn't work at all & half of the time when it does work, I can't even get 1/10th of the speed I pay for & where my upload speed is actually faster than download speed. SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE HERE ON WHAT TO DO.

Answer 1

Just so you know.
Dial-up is slowest, followed by
DSL from one of the phone companies followed by
Cable Services like Time Warner, Charter, and the others
T-1 is next, followed by
T-2
T-3
Cable is good
If you are having issues call them and be nice, request that they send a tech out and repair or replace there components because of the lack of service.
I had time warner a few years back and the sent out a tech and fixed my problems.
The issue was with there cable and they ran a new one, and replaced there Modem with a new one and it fixed my problem.

Answer 2

I had this problem before, DSL wasn't available in my area. I switched to satellite. It is expensive, but it'll get your job done a lot better.

I'm a technician, and I need to download drivers and software that can go for like 2 GBs each time. Until DSL could be available in my area, the satellite Internet was very satisfactory.

And don't worry about the price, here in my country is twice as expensive as in yours.
