Isnt Verizon like the best adsl ISP in the US ?

Verizon suks! i had them at work for DSL, it was always down and the network was really dirty. Most Addresses were even blacklisted It probably would be ok for a beginner, but i warn you, get a firewall

[Visentinel]

but work connections always suck.
the admins do it on purpose.

and your supposed to have a firewall on any isp, and even if you have 56k.

@clarky...unfortunately yes...about $500 for the setup...sigh....

[clarky3429]

wow :S, my ADSL setup was only $128AU, with $50 per month

[Visentinel]

Satellite costs allot.

My internet is $150 a month but
But i get Unlimited Download
Like clarky i live in Aus and here Unlimited 512/128 is $100 on just about every isp and if u want 1500/256 you gotta cough up on avg $160 a month.


RedInferno have you thought of ISDN ? thats 128k//128k

Don't have it in our area either.... Pathetic, I know.

[Visentinel]

Are you getting 1-way or 2-way Sat ?

[clarky3429]

i couldnt stand living in one of those areas with lack of internet connectivity

[Visentinel]

Id probably kill myself if i had to go back to 56k for a 3rd time.

[RedInferno]

2 way sat, hopefully.

I got 2mb upgrade recently from blueyonder, which is their lowest service. Their intro service is now 2mb, then up to 4mb then 10mb. I wish i could afford the 10mb soooo bad/

[ShadowFox]

I too would kill myself if I had to go back to 56 k

[clarky3429]
