I am a retired cryptologist. I've been into this kind of stuff since the teletype. EASYSTREET is now a prospering corporation catering to larger audiences, and I thank them for letting me have my account back after...well...I COULDN'T PAY THE BILL ;-}}}}}}}. The techs are STILL SUPERB. Banker's hours on residential...it is totally cool of them even to provide it!!! Yes, things got screwed up with QWest (can't pay their bill either...geez, is there a depression or recession going on? Surely for me.)
To come to the point, I threw my dell in a dumpster and got a penryl iMac and after 6 months of psychosis returned to easystreet. This is my recipe for tech-sanity. Yes I ordered 7mbps from QWest and Easystreet had me down for 5mbps. But techs got is right and I'm getting a solid 5mbps download from Easystreet proper. DSLreports can only test the crowded backbones, so my speed tests are not 5mbps to XEROX PARC or almost anywhere. Now for the "things" I could and will mention per dslreports suggestions:
OPTIONS: thought NetZero was cool, but if you dare read my review of them.
SPEED: i'm getting 5mbps to easystreet over distributed fiber, they have a bandwidth meter
at their site that isn't lying. I pay for 7mbps. But then, I grew up on a 10 character
per second teletype. Yes I'm an old fart!!! Ergo, I CAN'T BE TRUSTED 'cuz...
ARGUING ABOUT THIS IS DUMB, GRANNY'S CORVETTE IS FAST AND SAYING
YOU'RE PAYING FOR 7MBPS AND GETTING ONLY 5 is like saying, well, your car
COULD GO FASTER...why don't you drop some premium gas in it and ruin it.
I mean, dude, this is VIDEO bandwidth and then some!!! And at the price of regular
gasoline, not premium. 5th ammendment on cost. Send 'em the check. or nothing.
Yes, the billing lady got pissed off when I refused to be a corporate customer, but...
GRANNY prefers his CORVETTE DSL. Kids, take if from an old fart and ask
your teacher what a NAVY Corvette was...some sort of fancy boat I guess ;-}}}}}}}
AS for "the grid" and wireless, they can LEAVE ME ALONE. I'm a ham. So's the
CEO of easystreet. Finally, "cryptologists don't read each others mail nor do they do
wireless."
Heck wit the rest of the suggested questions/responses, Penryl iMAC + Easystreet
is what I've got, I friggin LOVE it, so if you don't like me leave me alone.

Portland, OR | Re: Sorry about that, Mr. Gates, you are OK but ... ok, seriously, that big red program from dell could turn out to be a real blessing to those who have to buy VISTA and help out africa too so there's my apology. I'd contribute, but...well, "I gave through my employer." RIGHT!?????! nope. | |
