To expand on WBaja's post.
We have TDS at our office for phone and internet.
The DSL speed at my office is far faster than my Comcast at home. We have the highest available speed/size that they offer. That allows me to email DWG format files (Autocad, i.e. very large) without much issue, only once in a while do I get a kick back message telling me to downsize.
Could be that our speed are so fast because the local hub office is located directly next door to my office.
We had DSL at home but Comcast was cheaper and we were able to go to VoIP. Overall TDS customer service is fine, we have not had any issues. But like I said they are right next door and we are a commercial account, shouldn't make a difference but I am sure it does.
When I closed my telephone and internet account, I realized that I left a bunch of emails behind and after a quick phone call to the IT department at TDS, they opened my account back up for a couple of hours to allow me to transfer all my emails into my new Comcast account, I thought that was really top notch as one of the emails was super important.
As far as overall value, I do not think that they are the cheapest trick on the corner, but overall not to bad. Home telephone and internet was in the range of $80-100/ month (local and long). Office is just under $500 with 5 lines and max DSL (local and long) and it never moves up or down (at least in the last 11 years).
