    I had incredible problems with my other cable provider which were primarily speed and tech support issues. They were reluctant to support a network - they said as long as they got a signal from my router, the internal network was my problem. Galaxy walked me through the issues, configured the router, and solved my issues quickly. Whenever the system hiccups (very infrequently) I call and they take care of it. As a small business, they realize there are other choices so they bend over backwards to take care of their customers.

    I used them for five years, and have had no problems. Good tech support

    when I needed it, and very reliable circuit. They even helped me when I had a virus on my computer. This is a company that always goes the extra distance for its customers. Where else can you get DSL and Voice for 19.95 per month?

    I've been a GalaxyDSL customer for the past few months.. ever since the
    NorthPoint fiasco. Galaxy's technical support is excellent. You get
    right through to a knowledgable technician- no ridiculously long hold
    queues, no frustration dealing with entry-level techs who get confused
    when they discover you're not running windows. If you want a DSL
    provider that has great technical support, they are a good choice.

    GalaxyDSL is a great service run by very friendly and kind people. I'm in a
    suburb outside of Boston, tech support and customer support was excellent,
    little waiting especially for tech supp. Installation process faster than
    any other DSL service I've had before.

    I have to thank personally some day how great this one person from tech
    support was and still is. His name is Peter. I forgot his last name, but he
    was effortful and determined to help me get my DSL working. Here's the
    little tale:

    Installation took a little longer than I'd liked, so I signed up for a
    free month (which turned out to be 3 months, not just 1 I found out after
    calling to cancel!) of MSN My modem was backordered, but it came
    yesterday (June 8th, a Friday. I expected it the following week.) Even UPS
    arrived early. I set up my DSL modem, plugged in the filters... waited like
    a silly boy on Christmas morning... *stared at the lights on the modem*
    c'mon c'mon, I thought, and the DSL light was red. :-( I tried it on my
    other phone line. Same thing.

    I called Galaxy's (wonderful to say the least) tech support. I was
    answered within I dunno 5 minutes max, it felt quicker than that! The
    notable Peter answered, and walked me through a few things on the modem just
    to double check. I asked him which phone line it was installed on. I
    requested the DSL installed on line 1, but they had it on line 2 :-\ hmmm so
    he said he would check with Rhythms for me.

    He did! Very quickly too! Within the next half hour or maybe 45 minutes
    (I don't know I was watching TV, enjoying a nice day off) he called me back
    with a Rhythms dude on the phone. I didn't catch his name but he was a
    wonderful help too. He did a few tests, and my DSL was working, with thanks
    especially to Peter, whom without this would not have happened!

    GalaxyDSL is a great service, and I highly recommend it to anyone who
    prefers speed over PPPoe (the kind you have to log on to).

    A silly note: I tried signing up for Verizon DSL before Galaxy. Dsl
    wasnt available in my area according to their website. (I had DSL for a YEAR
    before from Northpoint) I laughed it off, ordered Galaxy. The day my line
    was approved, for fun, I checked that same Verizon website...
    "Congratulations! DSL is available in your area!" I figure, they're too lazy
    to do real tests themselves :-P

    Quality stuff B-)

    Galaxy is a great service.
    A very satisfied, nah, it's more like
    wow-it's-good-to-have-DSL-again feeling customer (friend) ,

    I placed the order on Friday 4/20/01 and had my connection on Monday 5/7/01, in 17 days.(I was told, it will take 3 to 4 weeks)

    I never had to wait for more than 2 minutes on the phone for either Sales, Customer Service or Technical Support. They are extremely friendly, courteous and knowledgeable.

    The instructions on the modem installation were very straight forward and it took only 15 minutes for me to install and configure my IP address.

    When I did the speed test my download speed was about 660k and upload speed was about 330k.

    My hats off to Galaxy Team and I hope they will maintain this for ever.

    They claimed they would have me up and running in 3-4 weeks. I was up in 13 days! My Connection speed is in the promised range, I'm currently getting between 700-750 download and 300-350 upload. After losing my connection because of NorthPoint, Telocity didn't communicate anything with me and left me in the dark. I turned to GalaxyDSL as a frustrated DSL customer, and they have more then delivered.

    Gentlepeople:
    I want to say thank you....I have been a customer of Galaxy for several
    years...happily so....last year I switched to GalaxyDSL.....an now I am
    more than a satisfied customer. Not only is the service quite good and
    quite professional but I find that the GalaxyDSL staff are willing to go
    far beyond what is expected and to walk a customer
    through and during installation and problem solving. I would be remiss
    if I didn't single out Peter Sippel who has "held my hand" on more than
    once occasion and calmed my fears and solved my problems..GalaxyDSL has
    made me feel part of their family.....I am a happy camper....keep it
    up.

    I really don't see what all of the fuss is about. Yes, there are going to be problems with the installations, but that is just bound to happen. There are many other things that can arise during the installtion of any highspeed internet access. T1 lines, Frame Relays, and DSL are all bound to come up with some issues but that is no reason to give any service provider a bad reputation.

    I found that the tech support department knows there stuff dealing with this Cisco router I recieved. They were able to mold the router to my existing network so there was no downtime between the change over between DSL and my old 56k frame relay. The sales department has a keen sense of what was right for my company, and how to go about customer relations. As a whole, I give galaxy a thumbs up. Keep it up guys!
