I wish I had a reasonable alternative but there isn't one.
That sums it all up.
Century Link, whose lines were installed a century ago offers a 6mbps in my area. Due to the old lines and distance from the junction box, the max speed is .6-1 mbps. After a 3rd Century Link technician came out to examine the line, he told me to just get Comcast. He told me the new fiber optic system coming in a year will have bottlenecks because it won't be put fiber throughout the whole system.
I was able to tell a friend, an elderly person who has no idea about technology, that she was overpaying for her 25mbps Century Link package. She was only getting 1.5mbps. She had paid a premium price for 4 years before I ran speed tests for her. She is now on Comcast. I tell her to check her bill closely.
