try covad http://www.covad.com/
as long as your local phone service is SBC/Ameritech you can go through Covad... I'm using them now, getting 1500/384 ... ameritech said I could only get up to 384/128 ....

Same here. I had SBC DSL, and there was nothing wrong with that, either, but when I moved to my current apartment, Comcast was running a special for the first 6 months at $32.95 a month. Months 7,8 and 9 were $42.95, and now it's at the full price of $60 per month. I have no complaints about either company. The only time I see a real difference between the DSL and cable is when I'm downloading off of Kazaa. Otherwise, page loads don't seem to be too different. I think a lot of the results are going to depend on the area, too.Originally posted by mybluegtp@Aug 2 2004, 11:28 PM
I for one have not had a single problem with comcast and i've been with them before they became comcast. Awsome service
What about Wide Open West?

if you don't subscribe to cable TV - get internet only.....yep that's the price!
That's the Wide Open West I mentioned. They're still up and coming, so they don't cover a huge area yet, but it's worth a shot.

What the!?!?!
issed: Looks like I'll have to have a little chat with our friends. Well...subsrcibing to cable or not, you wined up paying the same amount. You either pay more the for the internet, and get the cable free (as I found out by using a splitter to run a line to the TV ), or you pay less for the internet, but pay for the difference with the TV service. It basically comes out to the same, I guess.
Well, I had to call communistcast today due to my internet being out all day. Tried telling me that there was no outage and said it was fine. Then they tried pinging my modem, and there all like "Hey, your modem is not there" Bunch of morons. My buddies have WOW. They have never complained about them, and he has had WOW for 2 years. Ive had comcrap for 3 months and called 3X more than he has in 2 years.
