I'm stuck in one of those rural areas with only DSL available, but Comcast has service nearby that the township says they'll be cutting Comcast a check to extend here soon. Apparently, one of the township supervisors(?) lives just up the road and wants it. That's the only reason it's finally happening here. Still not convinced they'll hook us up even though we signed up when the township asked. The house is 1700ft off the road with no existing coax.
Anyway, I need to know if there are different options for modems etc. I only wire my stuff, so I would need one with ethernet so I can use my own router. I'm also wondering what speeds I can expect here. I'm going to be rather pissed if they try to tell me it's only going to be 100mb. They're offering people in the city like 800mb over the same coax, right? I also plan to have internet only, no TV.
Spectrum supposedly has a line on this road, but only services the next township (maybe a mile down the road). Would much rather have had them. I'm kind of curious if those township deals are usually specific to "residential" internet and businesses can make deals with whoever they want. We're a farm, so we can technically do things as a business instead of a resident.
