Looking for suggestions for internet-only service. Dropping Comcast in the next few days.

If I can find a reliable, high-speed internet-only service it would help, as I intend to drop cable service altogether and just go with the over-the air programming. I already have the boxes needed for that, as I have done it before. My only hang-up is the internet. Any ideas? Last time I kept Comcast for only internet, but I refuse to support them with any of my $.

Verizon FIOS works extremely well, at least it's not Comcast. n/t RKP5637 Jul 2015 #2

The problem is this depends on exactly where you are (on a street by street basis even), PoliticAverse Jul 2015 #6

You'll have to refine to your street address but it should give you any options available. I have only two, AT&T and Time Warner. Sucks.

Neither are good options, but century link is more of a pain in the ass to get set up, so I have crappy comcast.

I hope you have better options.

and how much internet bandwidth you need as well as how much data volume you require
per month.

There are some websites that can give you some possibilities, like:
