Best+isp

This is a survey that I came across and thought it may be of interest to some of you.

Best isp

This survey was divided into different criteria that each ISP was tested for. Those included connection type, overall satisfaction, connection reliability, download speed, upload speed, customer service, technical support, e-mail service, spam blocking and antivirus/security. Each ISP was given a rating of above average, average or below average. And lastly, the ISPs involved in the survey were Verizon Fiber, Cablevision, Cox, Insight Cable, Earthlink Cable, Earthlink DSL, AT&T Yahoo! (formerly known as SBC Yahoo!), Time Warner Cable (also known as Road Runner), Verizon DSL, Comcast, Qwest, Earthlink Dial-up, BellSouth (now known as AT&T), MSN, AOL and Charter.

After looking over the chart, it looks like Verizon (the fiber version) made the top of the list, getting an Above Average ranking for each set criteria. Charter came in last, only getting two Average ratings throughout the whole survey. Some of the other ISPs that came out on top were Cablevision, Cox and Insight Cable. To be honest, those actually surprised me, because when I think of ISPs, I don't think of any of those right away. But it just goes to show that just because you have a popular name, you're not always at the top of your class.

Now, when you look at the results, it obviously depends on what type of Internet connection you're using. For example, Earthlink has dial-up, cable and DSL services, so make sure you're looking at the correct type for whatever you use in your home or office. Other than that, the results are pretty straight forward and self-explanatory. For your convenience, I have copied the full chart and you can check everything out for yourself right here:
