Eatel or cox. Which one should I go with. Do a lot of streaming and will have multiple users using the wifi.

Just internet?

Do you think watching sports is dumb (WatchESPN/SECNetwork)?

If you answered yes to both, you want Eatel.

Eatel is cheaper than Cox, no cable modem, and I've had very little service interruption (I can only think of once in 5 years, maybe twice).

Like max available, cost?

Generally Eatel is cheaper and offers faster top tier speeds (they have fiber all over the parish). Eatel has not and (this is just my opinion but) I have a feeling, never will pay ESPN extra for access to ESPN3 or the WatchESPN products. The SECNetwork will either force them to go up on prices so they can provide full access or piss off a good bit of customers that want to watch LSU. Get your popcorn ready.

I have Cox for Internet only. No complaints from me. Fast as shite, though expensive. $74 for the Premier Tier.

You do have the ability to watch ESPN3 with eatel, on a computer if you go to their site and click on the link in the bottom right corner. But you cant use the watchespn app, which requires you to give your service provider, EATEL doesn't support.

Eatel's internet is really fast, my last few speed test have averaged 50/27 (down/up)

I know someone who works there, and was told that they are working on getting the SEC network (whatever "working on" means)
