Re: BS

If envoid See Profile is truly reliant on a connection that doesn't inhibit his/her work, I'd recommend a business class circuit.
Why?

said by openbox9 See Profile :

I know that if funding my livelihood depended on my ability to access the Internet, I would have a much better setup than a residential connection from AT&T.
I do have a better setup than a residential connection from AT&T. I have a residential connection from Brighthouse. I use it to manage my business clients.

Point to point, it is the same connection that my business clients have, sans the static IP. There is no difference in performance or reliability. Paying 800% extra for the business line would gain me nothing.

The work I do is a lighter network load than a residential user who streams a radio station or watches a movie. My ISP isn't taxed a bit by it.

In fact, I would most likely have a couple of connections to the Internet from different providers.
I keep an aircard in my van attached to an EVDO router. It's always on if not always in use. I suppose that might serve as a backup. Or my phone can morph into a HSUPA hotspot, if I get desperate.
