If you are planning to get DSL from PacBell, I strongly recommend you to think twice. Their server had known problem that will drop you off from their router table. I had to call them every month to have them rebuild their router table. Each time it takes about a week. Each time I call them, their unhelpful level 1 & 2 technicians had to make you go through the insulting testing of your machine which requires you to uninstall ALL the protocol and reinstall it again. Not only that, if you plan to download huge files, forget it. It give you great transfer rate for about 10 minutes, after that, the transfer rate drops down to 0k/sec. They admit that it's a backbone issue, from their side, however, there is nothing they can do about it. I was like, watdaf**k! Anyways, I am prepared to contact their legal department now for breaching of contract (service paid, yet non perform). By the way, if you are experiencing the same problem, drop me an email at
sworshs@hotmail.com. I am going to file a FTC complaint against them. The more people I can gather, the better. This is like another AOL case!
Mod: I just want to point out that PacBell DSL is not a hot deal. I know it's a little bit offtopic, but I gotta warn the others.
