Started with Excite@Home in 2000, as home is just barely too far from CO for DSL. Lived through transitions to ATT@Home, ATT Broadband, Comcast.
Evidently RR has a reputation for being a spam facilitator. Even though I bought a personal domain for email, my outbound emails occasionally get blacklisted because they originate from a RR IP block. Grrr.
FIOS 10,000/2,000 is available at my home (in fact Verizon dug up my sprinkler system while laying the fiber) so 6,000/384 seems a little puny. Waiting for CC-to-RR transition to stabilize to see whether RR will boost speeds.
UPDATE: RR bumped me to 10,000/1,000 at no extra cost and without having to ask. Gotta be a competitive match thing. I guess getting my sprinkler dug up was worth something.

join:2007-02-19 Golden, CO | You might want to check FiOS again... Verizon has raised their entry-level tier to 10 Mbit down, 2 up. $43 with phone service, $48 without. Rather expensive, but that's a nice upload boost, with the option of upgrading to extreme speeds with little effort. Just sayin' | |
