We looked at a house the other day and have been trying to determine what type/speed service it has for internet. Yes we should have talked to the neighbors but that didn't cross our mind at the time. It's been 30 years since we last went looking at homes. Not sure how many neighbors we could get to as it's rural, 5 acre minimum and most of the 6 houses on that road had gates as I recall. Anyway, that's a good idea and we will try and do that on the next house we look at.
My wife called the dsl provider (century link) for the area and they verified there was dsl only available at that address and it was 3 mbps, or upgradeable to 4 mbps (3 down 1 up or something like that).
The real-estate agent said he sold a house that was on one road over from the house we were looking at he was sure that house had cable service. Wife called the cable provider and they said there was no cable anywhere along said road.
We are with verizon for cellphone on the original unlimited data plan from back in the day. Verizons website says there is 4glte coverage in that area. While we were at the house I did check my phone and noted it had 3 bars outside but was week inside with 1 bar occasionally 2 bars. I didn't think to look to see if it was 4glte or not. Something else to add to the check sheet.
What about this?
