At first, there's problems, but once you call the Metrocast to get it fix, and the problems goes away. I haven't had any problem for over a year now. Am very happy with Metrocast Internet and cable TV.

Last night (about 11pm) I could only get 1.5meg on our 7 meg service.
At about 5pm the same day it was better but still only about 3.5 meg. Where the eff is the other half of the service?!

That's the way it is the majority of the time at my house.

I have Direct Way. It is much faster than metrocast. I get about 10 megs when I do a speed test.

Do you have any issues when it rains or freezes?

No, If there is a really bad thunderstorm it will slow down quite a bit but once the storm passes it is back to normal.
