I would like to start off by saying I am quite happy with Jelly Digital internet service, for reasons I will mention below.
I have had both Cox and AT&T internet service in the 91913 and 91915 area codes (Otay Ranch and Eastlake area). I will mention my grief when I had those services.
When I had Cox internet (91913), I started out paying around $59.99 for the 150 mbps package. Unfortunately, after a year, it went to almost $90 for the same package. The other downfall with Cox is that the upload speed is capped at around 35 mbps. Upload speeds are equally important as download speeds, especially during Covid when everyone is using Zoom or Microsoft Teams which requires a lot up bandwidth to maintain your video connections and decent resolution.
With AT&T, since fiber is not available in my area (91915), I was limited at the 45 mbps connection. While the price didn't go up from the ~$60 we were paying, the upload speed was capped at around 10 mbps.
Jelly Digital has solved my problems!!!!
I found out about Jelly Digital in July of 2020. After reading up on the technology, I decided to give it a shot. I signed up at the end of July of 2020, but wasn't able to get an install until October 2020 (Covid-related issues).
Jelly Digital uses wireless technology, similar to mobile phone services, to deliver internet connections over the traditional copper wire underground. Jelly Digital installed a small radio and dish on the top of my roof, similar to a satellite TV dish, and ran an ethernet cable to my home-office. Since the radio on the dish already has a modem, the ethernet cable plugs directly into my router (I have a TP-Link Deco M9 mesh router system which covers 3000 square feet).
Although there were some hiccups the first few weeks, Jelly Digital has been right there to assist and fix the first few issues we were having. One of the most favorable aspects is their customer service. Since they are a small company, the customer service and communication has been excellent. Norm and John from the company have personally been there with questions, concerns, or issues that may arise. Customer service is available via text message/SMS, e-mail, online chat, or phone calls. It definitely beats AT&T and Cox by a long shot.
As for speeds, the screenshots speak for themselves. I have seen over 200 mbps download, and over 150 mbps upload with the service! The price is also less than both Cox and AT&T. Having the blazing-fast upload speed has made all of the difference since I have been working from home and have had to use more bandwidth while uploading files to my work network, or conduct Microsoft Teams conference calls while sharing my screen and video at the same time.
In summary, I am happy to support a local small business that has provided me with the speeds I want and need, along with great customer service at a great price. I would say that if you are in their coverage area, give them a shot if you are unhappy with your experience with AT&T or Cox. read more
