8/14 How much do you pay each month for home net access, what speeds are
you getting, what additional services, if any, are part of the package
and how happy are you with the service? I'm paying about $65/month
for cable. I get great speeds, it's been very reliable but I think
it's a bit pricey.
\_ forgot, something like $45 for cable with basic TV also. don't
remember any downtime, speeds are more than I need but I haven't
measured lately (at least 1.5 mbps). mountain view.
\_ $40/mo with DSL. Speed is about 1mbps. That's good enough for
me. No downtime so far.
\_ me to.
\_ $109/mo with Speakeasy, 6.0mbps/768kbps, static IPs, very reliable.
\_ $49/mo DSL through Cyberonic. My house is old, the cu is bad and
my co is overloaded, so I'm limited to 640Kbps-768Kbps/786Kbps
and suffer some downtime. The downside is that I have to use
a router that has a 'static ip' but performs pppoe authentication.
All in all I'm okay with Cyberonic, its much faster than my old
DSL.
Before Cyberonic I had 384/128 DSL via http://Sonic.net and paid $57/mo.
Sonic provided excellent service and decent webmail, but I switched
because I wanted faster service for a lower monthly cost. Sonic
tried to convince PacHell to fix my line so I didn't have as much
downtime, but PacHell refused which is another reason I switched.
I hate PacHELL.
\_ I swear those cocksuckers have a computerized blacklist of
hated customers who get the special "screw you" treatment.
Every time I moved when I lived in california it would take
them about a month to "set up" my new phone line, yet somehow
other people would get service in a couple of days.
Fuck pacbell. If I ever live in Ca again, I'm not even going
to bother with a landline.
\_ I thought pacbell was no more? -only owns cell phone
\_ They're now called SBC, but they still provide the same
PacBell service you know and love. |
