look what my phone company has to say about DSL...

[odog]

<< Thank you for your interest in SNET DSL service. This service is provided
by SBC Advanced Solutions, Inc. (ASI), a wholly owned subsidiary of SBC
Communications Inc., specializing in advanced data services.

Unfortunately, SNET DSL is not currently scheduled for availability in
your area. If you would like information on SNET's ISDN service, a
high-speed digital alternative to DSL that offers speeds up to 128Kbps
both upstream and downstream, please visit our web site at .www.snet.com >>




ohh boy... you mean i can really have ISDN... for only 5x the price of DSL... ohh even better... it's 1/10 the speed!

I HATE SNET:|

that sucks

 

[JimMc]

Truly does suck, no DSL in my area either. .... But I do have cable

BTW, minor typo in your sig...

 

[dawks]

DSL has been availible in my area since 1996, and cable since 1997 (I think).

 

[CalebTG]

24k all the way baby! no dsl or cable

 

[Wallydraigle]

I live in the boonies and I'm lucky to even get dialup. I only have two ISP's as choices. Right now I'm connected at a blazing 21.6 bps, yeeha!

 

[Madcowz]

well hey, if you ever decide to go ISDN I have a sweet 3com impact IQ external for $25 shipped! LMK

Sheeeeit, you're gonna hate me, but I live in the boonies of Los Angeles (I mean it's Tweekerville, USA.. and no I don't do that crizap ), and I have both DSL and cable offered here. Unfortuneatly though, I had to learn the 12 month hard way that the DSL here is less than mediocre. But I got cable last week, and could not be happier.

I live outside Chicago where SBC recently purchased Ameritech; Ameritech was bad enough, but now with SBC ownership it has gone completely to hell! Nothing but p*sspoor excuses for no service, late appointments, etc.

 

[Ulysses]

I must agree that SBC and Ameritech offer very unreliable DSL service. When it is working, though, it is very nice.

For all of you out in the Stix... (like me) I use direcpc... I get like 60K a sec Dl rate.. I love it

 

[BiggieN]

i'm in chicago as well. most of my friends got dsl but they hate the tech support and the connectability. one friend in the suburbs has had cable for 3 years now and he hasn't had it go down yet. waiting for the cable to hook up the big city now.
