| Re: Bye bye ISDN wierdo: Monthly it'll be $350 + tax from AT&T. I'm estimating that'll be around $400 total. The installation I'm estimating to be around $1,200. ($350 for 1st month, $350 for next month that AT&T always charges in advance, $250 for circuit install, and $200 for wiring, and any applicable taxes). I was told I could get that price because 1) I was relatively close to where the circuit would originate from, and 2) it was almost the end of the month and the sales rep hadn't met her quota and she was giving me as many discounts as she could to convince me to sign up.
Like I said, expensive. But it's low latency, no caps, with a 99.99% uptime SLA. I went thru a reseller called Dialtone Services, LLC. www.dialtoneservices.com if you're interested in getting a quote. Just keep in mind $350/month for a T1 is dirt cheap. I'm only about 1 mile away from where DSL ends in my town so there wasn't much distance the T1 had to cover. The farther away you are that price starts going way up, and fast!
RedSurf: Indeed! It just got turned on Monday. I'd still rather have AT&T extend their DSL coverage just a bit, so I can get my DSL again. Just for the price if nothing else.
If my job didn't depend on reading scanned documents so heavily I could have made do with the ISDN. Latency was great for games, but when pulling down 40+ meg PDFs to review, the bandwidth just isn't there. | |
