When I lived in Mooresville, I had terrible service. They eventually came back out and ran an entirely new line underground. I noticed it was a big fat one. Not sure if size matters or not, but service was great after new line was installed.
Here in Midland now, I can't complain about the service at all. I have one of those newer netgear dual band routers. Everything is wireless. TV, bluray, 2 laptops, 1 imac, 1 ipad, and 2 cell phones through a network extender.
Tv can stream hd movies at the same time as my computer and ipad will. I would normally bash on RR, but ever since I've moved in here, they get a big thumbs up!
