What DSL/Cable Service do you use?

What DSL or cable internet service do you use?
Do you like them?
How much do you pay a month?

Just trying to find out who I should go with.

Thanks!

Verizon DSL rules! $39.99/month, Had them for about 1.5 years and have never been down due to their issues.

We had verizon dsl paid about $40.00 good service.
Now we had to go with At&T broadband about the same price.So far a good service and I think its faster then Dsl at times..

You need to see what you can get around your area..
What do yall have now?

CoServ, had them for about a year. I pay 49.95 which includes a static IP. Love them and their customer service.

SBC/ Yahoo. 29.99 a month with a 1 year contract. I've had it for a month, and it flat-ass jams! Free install kit (simple), and no problems. It's about 40 times faster than my MSN dial-up was.

My mom has AT&T. I am getting a computer and probably putting it at Jared's house (if that's ok with Mike)

. I was just seeing what the internet options were. I'm use to Cable so I don't really want to have to use dial-up.

But $50 a month! Damn!

Ya, once you use cable or dsl,you can't go back..That'd SUCK!! Its worth the money.

We had 768k/128k Verizon DSL and it rocked. But we had to use AT&T Cable here at the house and it's nice.

I had ATT Broadband and i would always get around 2 mbps download and 768 upload, it hauled ass. Now we got this SBC DSL and it is slow.

Verizon DSL here. They are ok now, but when I first got them like a month ago the service was really slow. Now it doing a lot better.

I use SBC DSL and they cap you at 1 mpbs. I'm told that this is done so that you get consistent speed. My parents use AT&T and at times get 2 mpbs or more. Main difference is I have to have an active telephone line, but get consistent speed. Cable speeds slow as more users get on and I've seen my parents connection move as slow as a dialup.

SBC/Prodigy dsl, I think they are switching me to Yahoo though. When I first signed on it was pretty slow, compared to my old cable modem. Now though it seems faster than the cable, seeing as how most of the bandwith hogs are on cable now

4DRSS · 11-26-2002, 10:35 AM

I just signed up for Verizon DSL, 1.5 down/128 up. It is $60 a month but my work gives me $30 a month for my connection, so only $30 out of pocket for me

It is going to be setup on 12/4, I am SO ready to ditch dial up forever.

I have Southwestrn Bell DSL at home and its great 29.99 a month

AT&T Cable

Best service I've ever had... We pay 59.99/mo with full cable TV and t1-t3 cable with 3 recievers on the cable and 2 computers on a network.
