  Century Link advertises 12mbps in my town, charges you for 12 delivers 3 with the occasional 6.

  I have both T-Mobile home internet and another wireless service. T-Mobile gives me up to 50, but averages closer to 18. The other wireless (WiPower) is 15.

    File an FCC complaint. They are required to provide something like 80% of the advertised speeds on average otherwise they can get into hot water with FCC with big files.

      Rural NM, south of Albuquerque.

      We just got fiber, but so far I have not heard from anyone that has actually gotten it yet.

        That’s rough and hopefully these revised maps will start to show that better.
