Oakland Gardens, NY | Switched to DSLi DSLi = Awesome!
=======================================================
Hi Everyone. I was a former Flashcom user with 384/384 SDSL. It took forever for Flashcom to get things set up. (2 months) Once my DSL was up, everything was running smooth with a few downtimes. After Flashcom went out of business. I was offered to switch to telocity. Called them up to gather more information. The people there are really dumb. They cannot even answer a simple question on like if they host news group or use a 3rd party news group server. Decided to go with Verizon. Had a bad experience with PPOE. Idiots at Verizon have constant problems with their routing. Got use to downtime of at least 1-2 times a week. Their news group has no retention, but is very fast compared to Flashcom's Supernews. Bottom line, PPOE sucks, and Verizon definetly sucks. Several friends recommended to go with DSLI or Speakeasy. Decided to go with DSLi. Contacted them and order DSLi. DSLi mentioned I can use the existing 3COM bridge with DSLi. Paying $50 monthly. Paid $50 day for DSLi to transfer from Flashcom (Northpoint) line to DSLi. 3 days later, got my static IP and was upgraded to 784/784. It's been about a month now. Have no downtime. DSLi uses usenet servers as their news group. The retention is awesome. So, bottom line, go with DSLi if you your ISP sucks. |
