Winchester Wireless David Williamson Local ISP "High Speed" Unlimited Internet scam! Winchester, Virginia

Winchester Wireless is a local ISP came Highly recommended by many in the area. We are just a few minutes outside of town away from any comcast so our options looked like a 5gb cap cellular solution or satellite which isnt consistent enough. Met the guy said he offered unlimited high speed internet at"Up to 10Mbps Download / 3.5Mbps Upload" for 59.99 a month.

He has been in business for nearly 20 years as a computer repair shop and just in recent years began selling internet service. He charged 49.99 to survey the site up front, another 300 for the equipment as it is a line of sight wireless motorola setup. and then its 59.99 a month from then on. If you choose to sell back the equipment when you cancel your service they will buy it back for 100 if it still works, not a good or bad thing just a thought to include to be fair.

Been using it for now almost a year, have only complained a couple of times however its been a constant struggle to maintain internet at all many of times it goes down on a friday and theres nothing you can do until monday. At its best I can reach .56Mbps download and .55Mbps upload. The worst ive seen taken same day within about 30min. was .05Mbps down and .04Mbps up. 

I call to complain and what I get is Ive gone over 2gb of bandwidth so they throttle me back. From the same owner when asked about this a year ago said was unlimited and when I brought up the concern of using too much bandwidth said no worries its unlimited high speed just like comcast but better. I expressed my concern and was upfront about using a large amount of bandwidth and gave him a figure of around 40gb each month. I guess he didnt take me seriously then.

Yes I use a lot of bandwidth the whole family is technology driven with all these internet devices like ipads and smartphones, a gigabit hardwired network throughout the house and multiple computers online at all hours of the day and night. I run my own online business from home many days but find myself grabbing a laptop to upload or check email from a local wifi hotspot in town. Its only a 5 minute drive into town but why When Ive already sunk $345 into the setup plus 59.99 each month and at best spotty support when the near non existent internet connection goes down. 

The internet is more like a dial up and many many times its slower than dial up. Im 5 minutes outside of town, Please Comcast hear my cry! I want you back please come to my new place so I can eat the loss on this and get a REAL HIGH SPEED internet!
