[Leaplist] Brighthouse or Embarq?

[Kevin Anderson]

The Campground we're staying at uses Embarq, and my connection sucks badly.

Having said that, I believe the root of the problem is not the ISP, but rather 
is the setup here where I connect wirelessly to one building, and that 
building is wirelessly uplinked to another building.

Behind the scenes (or in front) for me is that I pay for this connection via 
Tengo Internet.  As I own a campground distantly North of here, and expected 
to use Tengo literally until we arrived at this campground.  I can only say 
that the level of service I've recieved regarding this is poor at best.  More 
honestly, I'd say it was effectively non-existent.

You could also consiter HughesNet (or DirectWay).  They're satellite based, 
but I'm told they show suprisingly low latency, and I have used a Vonage 
phone across their connection in other campgrounds with no significant 
problems.
