  2 0 You can read this blog post and hopefully that should help answer your question: http://blog.questionland.com/how-to-choose-an-internet-provider-in-seattle Charles B answered in Other - House & Home 8 months ago | Report 1 comment by Tom Sackett… 2 0 The blog post is a bit out of date. I would no longer recommend Speakeasy. They've been bought out by Megapath, and their tech support has gone from the best in the business to completely unhelpful. There's no justification to pay their high prices anymore.

  2 0 Much like voting, choosing an ISP out here is a matter of picking the best of the bad bunch. If you're looking for TV/Phone as well, Comcast will probably be the way to go. If you just want Internet, Qwest/CenturyLink is probably what you're looking for. Just keep in mind that if you want to add TV later, you'll then have to deal with DirectTV/dish nonsense. I've heard nothing but bad things about Clear...not good for a smaller company. There are a few other small ISPs out there, but none of them seem to be reliable alternatives. fast answered in Other - House & Home 8 months ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  1 0 Charles' link is the best route, but here's a little addendum, as Tom's comment said, don't bother with Speakeasy. Also, avoid Broadstripe, not worth the price either now. People here don't realize how lucky we are to have choices in ISPs, many other areas have one ... that's it. The big two are the best, Centurylink and Comcast. I prefer Centurylink (Qwest) as I have never had any problems with them, and since I don't use Windows or Mac I need real techs for tech support more often than not, as opposed to the script techs who should be replaced by computers anyway. Centurylink's internet service has no bandwidth limits, you pay for the speed instead, and they have decent modems available if you need one of those. The biggest bonus to Centurylink is that if you live in a building or area that is already taken over by one of the cable ones (you don't always get a choice for those) they use the phone lines and piggyback the signal. My building is locked into a bad contract with Broadstripe, so Comcast is not even possible here because Broadstripe owns the cable system for the building.
