We also have Mediacom and are paying $22 as part of the intro offer. It will go to $40 or $45 in another 9 months.

We also had this problem when we got our Kindle. Our router was hard-wired to the desktop and running wireless to a laptop and Kindle and it couldn't keep up with streaming.

We upgraded routers and now run 2 laptops, the Kindle and 2 ipods with no problem at all.

Clear Picture. $35 for just basic internet. There is a cap but it isn't enforced. We would be screwed if they decide to enforce it. Never has problems streaming.

We have cable internet through Atlantic Broadband. I found the speed difference between DSL (with Verizon) and cable was tremendous. With Verizon our speed was never testing as high as they claimed we were getting. I will say, we changed routers at the same time so that could have made a difference, but we went back to an old router so I doubt that was it.

With the cable we are paying $60/month which includes a landline (we need one because we get crap cell service at our house).

We pay $25 for lost art universe service and it sometimes buffers w. Amazon prime on our kindle but is horrible on pc. So I think it depends on your devices

We have our media center computer HARDWIRED into our CenturyLink internet (cheapest internet speed available, not sure what speed it is.) When I watch over the wireless network (relatively new, nice brand wireless router) it's just fine, but I like having the computer that's hooked up to the TV to be hard-wired.

This is basically how our media center is set up: http://lifehacker.com/5936546/how-i-...-for-under-500

We have AT&T 3mbs and rarely have problems with Netflix. If watching Youtube or another website, we do sometimes have downloading issues. We'll usually just download something before we're ready to sit down.
