Who does everyone use? Since I'm only there for games I just want a basic plan.

I had Metrocast in college but it was the worst internet ever. It was very common to lose internet connection 10+ times on a Friday night. I would use anybody else if they are still in business.

I may do that. Since it's a new construction duplex, I'm really wanting the internet for the security cameras ...I may pay for a camera for them and give them access to the app. If not I'm looking at AT&T

They are still there. They still suck. And I'm fairly certain all 4 places I lived at while I was in Starkville required you to use them as your tv/internet.

There's no way they would stay in business if they actually had to rely on customer satisfaction to keep customers.

Weekend user too here. I have ATT Uverse Internet Basic 6 (up to 6 mbps). Works great 95% of the time. I got it half price for a year. Now it is $52. Would like to find a cheaper alternative that is fast enough for streaming.

They are offering that 3mb for $ 30... I may use that.. I will use my tailgater for satellite or does a digital antenna pick up any channels?

An antenna will get all local. ABC, NBC, CBS...etc. I would get a decent one. The 20 dollar ones just need too much fine tuning.

Make a deal with the neighbor to use their wireless guest network and bring them a case of beer when you come to town.

We only use our place 20-30 nights a year. The neighbor (who lives there full-time) was quite happy to share his password for $15 a month.

I'm a most time resident of Vegas. My only source for internet/cable is the old Metrocast now called MaxxSouth. For internet I pay $60/mo for 60mbps download and it's, ok. I have some problems w/ it cutting off for just long enough to have to go back to the Netflix/Hulu home page and reload whatever show I was watching. I bought a $26 antenna from WalMart, put it in the attic and get all the network channels no problem. That said, there are neighborhoods in the city limits of Vegas that have no internet providers and if you get outside city limits good luck
