After having to mess with the settings to get it working I had previously for the old DSL I was able to connect to the internet. I had to mostly change things to default and on my router set it to automatic configuration. So it's working now and I am getting this speed



How easy would it be to upgrade to the $114.99 deal? Like could I just come on here and have it changed to that the same day?

Edit: First download on Suddenlink right now at 115-135KB/s off of RapidShare! So I guess I am not having those problems others on Suddenlink have right now or yet. :P

Where can I get help unmerging accounts from AT&T Yahoo?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20493755 Fri, 16 May 2008 14:58:55 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20446062 SL Support : Blind123: Please send me a PM with your address and I will lookup your information and we can discuss which package would be best for you.

Suddenlink recently neutered it and could care less.

It seems like it is limited or something. So I was wondering, what is the fastest you guys (maybe around the Tyler, TX area) download stuff?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20429466 Sun, 04 May 2008 10:16:45 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20422823 BliND123 : ...So that is slower than mine?! Um...How much would/should it cost me to upgrade to the 8Mbps and have the phone and cable like it is? That should be the $115 deal I guess so its still like $15/month less than what we are currently paying.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20422823 Fri, 02 May 2008 18:27:58 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20422530 bullet087 : thats 1.2Mbps down and ~300Kbps up.

I have to leave mine off for long long periods to get dropped from the DHCP table. I haven't had the need to do this but I'd say even several hours won't guarantee you a new IP. I've had periods of greater than 6 months with the same IP on Suddenstink / Charter.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20422065 Fri, 02 May 2008 15:48:51 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20421943 SuddenlinkTX : Residential services have a dynamic IP address.

You mention resetting your DSL modem to get a new IP, and I'm curious as to why you'd need to do this.

As far as the 15-day wait to be installed, you stated you're getting phone service, and I know it takes a certain number of days to get a phone number up and going that has nothing to do with Suddenlink, but I'm not sure on the exact number of days. It also depends on whether you're porting a number (keeping your old number) or getting a native number (getting a new number).

Regarding the internet speed you'll be getting, you would need to ask a rep what the actual name of the data tier is that you'll be getting, and they should be able to tell you the speed of that specific tier. In Tyler, the download speed tiers are are 1 Mbps (Value), 8 Mbps (Preferred), and 10 Mbps (Premier).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20421943 Fri, 02 May 2008 15:23:39 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20420568 BliND123 : I'm supposed to be getting the $99 deal on May. 16 that comes with the cable tv, phone, and internet service. I had a few questions about the internet service. Is the IP address static or dynamic, are there any limits on how much we can download? I have been using Rapidshare often right now with DSL and am able to reset the modem to get a new IP, so I was wondering if I would still be able to do the same with Suddenlink. How fast is the download speed in this package? I was told it was supposed to be 6-7 times faster than my DSL (actually fastest speed I get is 150KB/s) so that should be like 1MB/s, is that right?

And last thing, why does is it going to take 15 days for them to come over here and setup the stuff? If its just about the modem, I have actually installed it before back when they were Cox, should I call them to give me the modem for me to install it? ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20420568 Fri, 02 May 2008 10:41:47 EDT
