hey everyone im new to this website, just found it today. I am moving to orlando very soon and im interested in getting the best internet service possible, well without paying a lot of money. I have Comcast right now in south florida and its pretty good but the upload speed is not that great its about 350k with download around 4.2 mb. i usually use my internet a lot for playing xbox 360 on xbox live and upload speeds affect hosting and such, so im looking for an internet service that has very good upload speeds. thanks if anyone can help me out ! Justin

Hello,

Go to broadband reports and type in your zip code.

Also, welcome to Besttechie :)

Well for the most part it's going to depend on what your choices are when you move. Do you know who all serves the area?

here in our town of Rochester Mn Qwest dsl has huge upload speeds, I think 1.5MB/s up. You may find better upload speeds with the dsl provider in that area.

AT&T DSL Bear in mind that this connection is shared in a 54-room hotel with the front desk as well as any guests that may be bogging down the network, though the transfer rates don't surprise me. I have had nothing but bad experience with AT&T/SBC in this area.

I'm starting to think it's a good thing we're about to upgrade the wireless for administrative use.
