10 meg broadband

Today, I had SureWest install broadband and phone service. They only service limited Sacramento region neighborhoods (Carmichael, Natomas, Arden), and just recently got to my part of Natomas. They offer phone, broadband, and video over fiber.

Phone and 10 megabit symatrical (that's 10.0/10.0), $90 a month. The phone has unlimited nationalwide and some basic phone features that I use; the broadband, covers 40 gigabytes a month. We're not trying the video service, as we're happy with our Dish (and the PVR).

speakeasy's speed test, shows me getting 9.1 megabit down and 9.6 megabit up. Wow!
