Lived at my townhouse and had to live with dialup for about 7 months. Yuck. Found out via BBR that a remote terminal was being built around the block from my house (near Bernal/Santa Teresa). Hallelujah!
Once it went live, I was probably one of the earliest subscribers on that RT. Ordered Jan 4 2002, live on Jan 14 2002. Install went fairly smoothly.
Since having it now for about 9 months, I can't say it was 100% smooth. Maybe 99% Had minor issues with nighttime slowness (solved via pacbell forum at bbr). DSL died a couple of times, but never for too long.
But I can't complain. I've love the speed.

Still going strong. Called SBC recently and was able to sign up for another year at $35/month.
Update: 2004-02-20
Upgraded to the 3000/384 Expert plan. I'm getting 6000/608 for $45. What a deal!
Update 2006-03-23
Had some billing issues with the 6000/608 grandfathered plan. Ended up calling SBC to resolve it. Last month's bill looked ok.
Update 2007-04-02
Switched to the elite (6000/608) plan a while back. DSL's running fine.
Update 2007-10-19

Update 2009-03-16
