The short history of dslreports.com
The DSLreports.com domain was registered in June 1999 and populated with various bits of information on the proliferation of new DSL powered small ISPs, as well as user reviews. The first version of the site even ran off a home (small business) DSL line from NorthPoint.
We try to have a consumer-first point of view, and defend the privacy and confidentiality of our myriad contributors. Despite our domain name, we are agnostic over broadband connectivity technology: Cable, Wireless and Satellite users are as welcome and as numerous as our DSL users. (In 1999 new domain names were not built from nonsense words such as bownce, weebler, meeblit or other web2.0ish combinations of letters - and dsl was the first focus).
DSLreports.com is owned and operated by Justin Beech, often out of various wifi cafes around Brooklyn, New York. He has opened a site blog where you might find some useful information from time to time, but probably won't find a 'road map' or a 'mission statement' or anything grand. He doesn't like typing about himself in the 3rd person, but the since this page started that way, he doesn't have a choice.
Geek notes: dslreports.com is written in modperl. We use the apache webservers, and mysql SQL databases, running on Linux. See more of the dslreports.com toolset.
