Not a Virginian, but these are all popular national ISPs. Xfinity is your best bet.

Avoid HughesNet like the plague. High earth orbit satellite is a last resort. If you have access to hardwire, take it.

Virginian here. We have Comcast xfinity now. But we had Verizon fios when we lived in the city. Verizon fios is HANDS DOWN better service than Comcast.

My understanding of Fios is that it's fiber in dense areas and 4G fixed point wireless access in the boonies.

But if @315 has access to the fiber lines, definitely go fiber!

Xfinity charges to lift the 1TB DL cap which sucks and 1GBPS isn't widely avail.

Have to infer meaning of boonies, countryside — Haha where does that word come from?

Thanks the the help gents.

re: service @27 - do you mean the internet service or the customer service?

Twetch ·

Lol epic non-sequitur???

Twetch ·

Not at all!
Simply the long-form way of saying: "Boonies, it's in der! (inSLic)"

But you make a great point, "non-sequitur" is NiSLic (not in SLic) which means long term opportunity.

Niether is "boondock" for that matter. It's like 2009 again in BitCoin

Found it! Excellent. I have been educated.

/pay @27 @1850 $5 following up - booked Verizon install for January. Thanks gents.

i used to live in the literal sticks in Virginia, we couldn't get Verizon or Xfinity and Hughes net was worse than dial up. we ended up having to use competing local service providers who were also garbage and charged per Gb

i now see this was a month and a half ago ha

For the record I went with Verizon Fios. Their customer service was friendly. Their website is a total disgrace, but thankfully, their actual hardware and speed of connection is phenomenal in Richmond. Way faster than anything I could get in London.
