In the race for good and reliable internet providers Southwestern Bell is that and more. They stand out in the market for ISP's by not being an overpriced unreliable provider. Though their software may not be up to par because it crashes, they definitely deliver the goods when it come to fast, easy, and reliable service. Since I have gotten their service I have gotten speeds around 1140/128 kilobits per second, which very good in my mind. They have also not been down since i have had it. The downfall for me is that the IP's are dynamic which means they change ever so often, but otherwise it's good. So if you're looking for a trusting service dont go for those companies who are just out to get you money but rely on the one of the best in the race for broadband DSL , Southwestern Bell because they know what they're doing.

about IP

If you never discconect (say that you use a router) then your ip will always be the same. So if you really want to have a "static" ip buy a cheap linksys router. I'm on dynamic cable and i've had the same IP for about a year.

Want the same ip?

Upgrade to static enhanced with 5 ips. You don't need any new hardware and you can ditch that pppoe software. Best of all you get rid of that dynamic ip problem.
