Re: Unhappy Business Customer
DSL is a residential/ small business (10 users) product.
Do not be cheap order bonded T-1s or MetroEthernet.
Why speed tens of thousands on computers and networking and less that hundered on access?
T-1s will bypass all your issues. Its like buying a Ferrari and towing it with and VW and complaining of the top speed.
My 2 cents worth....:) |

That doesn't answer the question being asked. |

It's not like he gets business dsl for free. And you can bet it has a higher cost compared to residential as well. What is that extra cost for?

Greenwood, SC | Is it not true? If the OP was willing to fork over the extra money for a dedicated line, there would be no issues. |

Why settle for a slower, more expensive option?

The extra cost for the business DSL is to cover the extra bandwidth that businesses tend to use. Whether or not that model still holds true today is a different topic of discussion.
In any case, carrier services are a completely different product than cable or DSL Internet services. Not only are there completely different service metrics (complete with SLAs and financial compensation for outages/service degradation) but the support systems are completely different as well. |
