High Speed Internet in St. Marys

Who, besides Metrocast, offers high speed internet access for home use? I am tired of Metrocast and looking to change. Suggestions?

Verizon is good, had some problems a couple of times but the out sourced customer tech support in India fixed the issues. Must be very cheap labor, I have verizon wireless DSL.

I've had highspeed Metrocast for years. Never had a problem with them. It's expensive but worth it.

Just wish we could get something faster than Metrocast's 7meg package!

I was just thinking that same thing. When I took over the COMM section where I worked back in the early '80s, standard was 300 BAUD, and only the executives got 1200 BAUD on an acoustic modem.
