| No DNS? I'd LOVE to get a bare-bones connection and do all my own stuff... but no DNS? Surely you don't expect my to type in IP addresses all the time... Who am I to going to lookup Google???
Oh well, I got a near bare-bones connection now; fixed IP DSL, 2 Mb down 1 Mb up, no flashy homepage, basic unlimited (SMTP) email and news. I run my own web/FTP/mail server, and it's all allowed too... all that for €34,50  |

kudos:18 | You didn't read the info provided. DNS is supplied as well as Public IP and Netmask. |

"I don't even need to use your DNS servers, and frankly, with Comcast and Telstra's recent troubles, I might be better off." |

West Lafayette, IN | Nothing but throughput and an address sounds more than ideal to me.
Leaving behind (LONG LONG ago) AOL's crappy annoying "content" has made the internet so much more peaceful for me.
Even Comcast.net (which you don't even need to ever see) stirs up a certain level of disdain in me.
....As for DNS, Even with my cable connection I have my router set to 4.2.2.2, - before the recent outages just because I like choices and feel that Comcast's servers just aren't snappy enough. |
