Home Net Connections

Post by malice »

What sort of Net Connections do you all have at home?
What company?

You satisfied with it?

What speeds do you tend to get?

I am just curioous what hard core people like the php groupd tend to have at home.

(Yeah I know, T3 and T1, but hey, I kinda threw that up there to "clear the palate")

768 / 384 DSL from Speakeasy with Covad as the line carrier. I have to say I'm very pleased with the service and about the only down times that we see are when they are upgrading backhaul circuits. They've done backhaul upgrades bi-annually since my roommates and I picked up the service.

I just recently switched...

I WAS with Megapath.net with an IDSL/SDSL net connection of about 144k/144k (couldnt get anything else at the time)
I really was pleased with my service, never really had a problem, the technical support REALLY knew what they were doing.

NOW I am on SouthWesternBell....
I have about a 1.0-1.5M/128k connection. (They opened a new CO like around the corner from me) So far I havent really had a problem.

I'm dial up, although "two cups and a piece of string" with omeone at the other end to read out the HTML would be faster :wink:

Now that BT have gone cheap I'm hoping to get ADSL :D
