I'll be moving to Waunakee shortly, and am looking for an Internet
Service Provider. I saw billboards for TDS, which led me to check
them out. Or, maybe I should say "try to check them out".
After going through multiple pages in their extremely slow web
site, I managed to extract that they offer:
- Extreme Prime $45/mo
- Turbo Prime $30/mo
- Express Prime $25/mo
I couldn't find anything that translated these advertising terms
into actual *speeds*. Nothing that says how many Mb/sec these
correspond to. Are there any TDS customers who could tell me?
Also, these are the teaser rates. I couldn't find anything that
says what the real rates will be. Any info?
It could be that TDS is so focused on technical support that they
don't know how to do proper promotion. On the other hand, it could
be that the unclear info on their web site is deliberate and the
best thing about them. Any current or former TDS customers care
to comment on their experiences?

Nostalgia just ain't what it used to be.

P.S. Experiences with other ISPs in the area would also be welcome.
