Re: New minimum speed for US broadband connections

[Owen DeLong via NANOG <nanog () nanog org>]

I have to give a shout out here for Mike’s organization (Ridge Wireless).

They do provide excellent customer service and decent speeds, though they are sub-fiber and at somewhat of a 
premium/Mbps vs. terrestrial fiber solutions.

I’m currently using Ridge as my primary connectivity with Comcast as a backup. They have consistently over-delivered 
vs. promised data rates and have always answered any issues I bring up promptly and with great skill and knowledge.

They are a total contract from the large utility players and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
