    02/14/01 - first day of service:

    I was an ISP switch person from DSLNetworks so I was able to use all of the same equipment I already had. Price is the same that I had with DSLNetworks for the same speed service. They even used the same dedicated line I had with DSLNetworks. The same day as Covad's announcement pulling their lines Speakeasy had info up on their website on what I had to do to switch to Speakeasy.

    I filled out the online forms on Thursday (02/8/01) to switch and heard very little until Monday (after I e-mailed them for some questions I had). Those were answered promptly and had DSL in less than 7 days. My speeds are comparable to the actual speeds I had with DSLNetworks but with a TON better latency. I do have some lost packets (very low) but I do expect it to get better - I am out of the NY POP. My pings to the gateway have dropped from 109-250 ms with DSLNetworks to 41 ms with Speakeasy. I actually rank very well after running DRPing (score 74).

    So far I am very pleased after 1 day - I will keep up this review in the next couple of months and update as necessary.......

    THANKS SPEAKEASY.... good riddance DSLNetworks.......

    8/28/07 - Still great service - still using my SpeedStream 5260 modem and added a wired/wireless router with an additional wireless print server. Speeds are still 85-95% of the rated speed (usually about 1250 down on a rated 1.5 meg download). They gave me 5 email addresses and upped my upload to 384K and lowered the price by about $3.00 - not a lot but they did give me more and I have virtually no downtimes since 9/11/01. I am now on the Chicago POP and could not be happier.
