 Skybeam - Great Price

We have our phone service and internet connection with Skybeam and love it. The man who installed our service was wonderful and when we called technical support to setup our email they were very nice and professional. I've told my neighbors about the service and they enjoy it as well. We dont miss spending the extra high phone bills!

The above reply is either someone who has no idea what internet service should be like, or an employee of Skybeam.

11pm on a Saturday, and here's what Skybeam's service looks like:

Computing statistics for 100 seconds...

Trace complete.

21% lost packets from their first hop, incredibly slow speeds....and this is what it's like during non-prime time hours, you can imagine how it is during "busy times".

For months now I've been told by Skybeam they are "Waiting on equipment" to fix the issue out here, but it's become obvious this is not true. I can only hope that anyone considering them for net service has other options and is smart enough to use them because, hands-down, Skybeam is the worst ISP I've ever had, and I've seen plenty...from Cox cable to PacBell to Comcast to Qwest. Skybeam makes them look like they invented the internet....
