I live in a large Senior Citizen Mobile Home Park that has no cable (tv or internet), but allows Cybertime to transmit the internet to the 300+ homes via Microwave. Each home has a small antenna on it's roof, and a line is connected from the antenna to a modem in the home. Speed received is generally from about 3 MB/s to 10 MB/s, depending on how much you pay each month ... from $30 for 3 MB/s to $100 for 10 MB/s.
I actually like Cybertime for it's Customer Service. They usually react quickly to problems, but sometimes the fact that they only have a small staff slows them down. Evenings, Nights, and Weekends, however are not as good as week days, but when a problem comes in to their office voice mail, they do send the voice mail to their technician on call. I've found that "John", the tech that serves my area will often call back and keep me informed on what is happening.
My complaint with Cybertime is not Customer Service ... it is Internet Speed. I have 7 computers of my own and use them for various purposes. Additionally, my wife and I enjoy Netflix and other streaming websites, so we download a lot. Netflix usually works well at 5 or 7 MB/s, but if somebody in the house is watching Netflix or some other streaming site, it can be difficult to download anything else. We have 3 adults in this house and 3 televisions (2 in bedrooms) and it is not unusual for at least two of the people to try to watch a stream ... but that is not possible.
I like Cybertime for their Customer Service, but I need faster internet, more broadband.
The only other choice for internet is satellite. One advertiser on television is offering 25 MB/s, with unlimited data ... and that would be great if it also allowed unlimited data at the fastest speed, but they do not. After a certain amount of data is transmitted each month, they will slow down the speed of the transmissions to below that required for a streaming service like Netflix. I need fast speeds. I pay for 7 MB/s ($70/month) ... not fast, but usually acceptable.
Cybertime is my best choice. read more
