Same speeds here today. Although he did aim at the wrong tower the first time and had to move the dish.

Tall skinny guy (like I have room to talk), brown hair. Looked like a Seabring with a busted front grill. You'd kinda expect work trucks with ladder racks, but he said he gets most done with a 13' telescoping ladder.

I checked the Kellin website today. It looks like they now offer one residential plan with 15mbps a month for $70, and it is capped
at 300gb. Should I worry about the cap?

The website is totally different than it was even 2 weeks ago. There was no mention of the 300gb cap and the guy I talked to on the phone when ordering it said it was unlimited. I can't look up our old usage with xfinity, but for moderate internet use, online gaming, and streaming On demand type stuff, I don't think we ever got over 70 gb in a month.

Reviving this thread for any updates. Anyone have Aerux yet that can comment on their service?

So far Kelin has been great, pretty consistently above 14Mbps until today where we're sitting around 8. We have snow and ice built up on everything so I'll see if it improves by Monday. Rise is still mediocre at best, about 3Mbps on average now on my 10Mbps plan. They said that I could move to a new, updated tower, in Castle Rock but when the tech came out he said that one is only good for 5 mi and we're about 10 from it.

Opposite end of the spectrum. I live in the mountains. Everything is line of site. My first MRIC set-up included a 20' mast on top of the house, pointed between two trees. The trees grew and no more LOS. MRIC has great customer service but the technology is usually a step behind. Phase two, me (with an antenna in my hand) and the tech (following me with a laptop). We walked the property for an hour before there was a signal. Another hour and we had it isolated. An antenna, 50 yards of CAT5 to the garage and a line of sight router later we had a connection. 5-7mps during the day and 0.06-1.0 at night. Not the best but better than watching paint dry.

Moving to town next month. Three companies that better offer better service.

I'm moving to Elizabeth and will likely try Century link.... If that does not meet my needs, I'll try rise. I'm on Xfinity Blast plus (100mb/sec) so it's going to be a significant down grade.

Did that one place end up working out for you?

Where I'm going, I will likely be relying on my cell phone hotspot, unless by some miracle there is DSL

No we didn't end up getting the place with 30+ acres. We got another place in north Elizabeth on 3 acres. Way cheaper than what we were looking at also so there's budget for fun money still.

I have had Aerux for 2 years. Excellent service, if you call you are taking to the guys that will fix it. I have noticed 2 outages that were fixed within a couple hours.
