Re: OOL Raising Prices - $44.95 w/cable service said by johnsp:
I wish a DSL outfit (anything but Verizon) sees this and offers OOL users a special package. Doesn't CV always do this? Optimum TV was the same a few years ago. Great deal for a year or two then $5 increases every 6 months.
I gotta find a cheap DSL that doesn't use PPoE like Verizon, I hated that extra software layer.
Verizon has come a long way since they started DSL. The extra layer does not affect your speeds at all since Verizon sets their speeds a bit higher than advertised so you can get closer to the advertised speeds. Quick speed test my verizon plan.

A 175.6 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 374485 bps, or 374 kbps.
Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!
and that is with a 12/KB sec downloading going to on IRC from a OOL user...someone who should be capped but people who do legitimate work get capped.
