=== 2008-2009 We left the Cable Company (Comcast) and took Embarq's BUNDLE of:
2 Phone lines, internet, additonal number for FAX and Alarm
The DSL speed not as good - but it And the service is adequate.(not great)
(see changes from originalupdates below)
The Sprint and Earthlink deal available thru Sprint online has met and exceeded my expectations.
:)
No problems since installation and damn few at that time.
The only problem was getting that last bit of tweaking done, in order to go from
90% efficiency to 96% effective of the "contracted" speed -
:)zoom - zoom - zoom
:D
512/128 $44/month
1 year contract
WinPoET
"instant connect" - actually not TOO bad for a "dial-up DSL"
I will decide later whether or not to upgrade to the 1.5M/512 $94/month
Better than "just satisfied" for now - very pleased
======
Update (should have done it sooner) - June 2002
- I did do the "1.5M/512 $94/month" - then changed to 1.5M/256 and saved $50
====
- Later had them add a static IP ($5.00/month)
--- Pings seem worse w/ static - but it doesn't bother me yet - speeds are 92% of advertised. - Still very happy 
Using a Linksys router, along w/ ZoneAlarm Firewall
[2-3 home computers and printer(s) on the LAN]
===2002 - - Aug and Sept and Oct changes due to Business changes ==
Changed to Business Grade 1.5M/384, dynamic IP - Since the company (GE Financial) is paying, I don't know the price\
