[DSL] Coming Back to DSLXHi,
After 2 months away I am coming back to DSLX. I have had several ISP outages since the beginning of the year. I have found out that the local cable company and coop internet use the same back haul and that ATT is independent. I will have DSLX as a backup to my coop DSL. My coop DSL and DSLX are the only internet options that are not CAPPED. My local coop just started offering ADSL2+ (15/2) which I have requested and it will save me $5/Month. I am very interested in ADSL2+ or VDSL2 through ATT when it is available. Hope in the near future DSLX can offer something faster than 6/768 |

Welcome back. I love my DSLX circuit via Verizon. Being able to get direct support on here is also a good reason for a DSLX circuit. |

Thank You. I am hoping after ATT gets all their line moved for the nearby highway construction they will be able to offer U-Verse and I hope DSLX can resell U-Verse in the future. I am hoping for faster speeds through DSLX in the future when they will be able to resell U-Verse. I am currently on 6/768K DSLX now and it has no caps.
My Main ISP has me on 15/2 ADSL2+ and I am using DSLX as a back up/Load Balancing ISP. |

Yay! Free Dialup. I can break out the old external US. Robotics Serial Modem with the USB to Serial adapter and get on the internet at a BLAZING 56K.  I still do have a serial modem but haven't used it in years. With the slow death of pots lines and how large webpages are these days is dial-up even usable these days? There was another forum in the hardware section posting old modems. I still have a 3Com LAN modem that I have been hanging on to. Also have a SMC ABR-7004 that is a print server and a serial port for a dial up modem. Never had the heart to throw these pieces of hardware out. |

Yep, I hope that's it. George is so close mouthed about it but I can't wait. I have two top of the line (and expensive) USR modems and will delight in being able to use them again.  |

Shhhh...You're not supposed to give our secrets away. Steve Jobs would not be happy about these leaks. Please please please don't tell anyone that the dialup will come with a really slick "acceleration" feature.  |

I hope eventually they will be able to resell u-verse and we will be able to use our own modems.
Don't know if resold VDSL/ADSL2+ will require ATT modems or even if they can use bonded pairs on resellers. I would guess that would be one of the the issues holding back reselling DSL from ATT now. |

My modem supports the x2 so with a LAN modem, my USR modem on the SMC I can get a x4 connection. |

You can sign up for the annual contract now, and then once the new services come out, switch over. Same thing happened when we unveiled Fusion - customers who were on annual contracts were able to upgrade to Fusion. |

There are days when I really miss 128 kbps with two bonded ISDN B-channels. Please say you're bringing it back! It was such a pleasure living in California Verizistan and dealing directly with their tech support.  |
