I recently switched to GCI.

I would have stayed with ACS if I could get the 3Mb deal. ACS's infrastructure
did not support a reliable 1Mb connection to my house. A neighbor gets close
to 3Mb, hmmm.

I don't like the bundled cable/internet with GCI. I don't have a tv so I
uninstalled and returned the cable portion of their hardware. There are
benefits to doing this.

I wanted ATT wimax but no towers serve my area.
