BillyVance 35 #1 August 20, 2008 That I finally got a high speed internet service I'm happy with. Fucking phone company's DSL service is worthless, and has been pissing me off long enough. I kept getting my connection dropped from time to time, and when it was connected, it wasn't at full speed that I paid for. Made surfing the forums here or playing on pokerstars nearly impossible. So today I finally get my new cable modem up and running. Open IE. BAM! Page is up in a second. Click on dropzone.com. BAM! Page loads up nearly instantly. Fucking awesome. Fuck the phone company. I've gone Cable!

mdrejhon 8 #3 August 20, 2008 It is an area-by-area dependent thing -- the DSL service can be pretty terrible in the periphery far away from the central office, but at my home, DSL (smooth transmitting 24/7) is more reliable than Cable (lots of bursty freezing and slows down at peak). Fiber is the best though -- if you're lucky to have access to Verizon FiOS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am going to change my phone service to the bare minimum, local calling plan, for the simple reason to be able to call 911 from my TTY. It's about $10 a month. I can call free anywhere in the continental US through my video phone or via internet based relay service.

Matt I never put any lights up on my house. It's a royal pain in the ass.

He loves his cable modem now. I should add that the cable company I have - Coosa Cable, is family-owned and only serves the immediate area, about 3 counties. Great customer service.
