$60 AND guaranteed NO PRICE INCREASES

This is a totally smoking deal over cable. If I was in an SBC area I would jump all over this.

When you consider that at this time two years ago, people were happily paying $59/month for PPPoE 1500/256, it's a smokin' deal to get 6000/608 with a static IP at the same price.

Regular price on 6000/384 from DSLExtreme was $189/month just a few months ago, and it had far less upstream!

Why is it crazy? There are many of us DSL users who remember when DSL was $59.99 for 1.5/128. Since prices have dropped it was just a matter of time before they started offering greater speeds at a reasonable market value. If I was able to get the 6mb minus overhead I would be increasing my speed by 4x while only paying twice as much. Doesn't sound too crazy to me IMO.

u're crazy if you think 60 for 6mbit/608kbps is hotdeal... i rather have me 3mbit/384k for 30 a month.
60 x 12 = 720 a years plus taxes...
This can really add up, if you really have money to blow well even 99 a month isn't too much to pay. But for most of us this still too much to pay

Not my Cable Company either, I have RR cable and DSLE DSL. I pay more than $30 for the Cable. I think it's about $45 but since I have it with my Cable TV service I'm not 100% sure. so for $20 more, I get twice the speed, and less hops to the net, ON TOP OF the static IP! BING! Too bad I live 12K out.

I get my Comcast (which is still at 1800/300) for $43 and I had to buy my modem and my 1500/128 Verizon is $30/mo after I buy their Verizon Freedom package.

I don't care how you look at it, save for Surewest or OOL there is no beating this $60, price guaranteed forever 6Mb down 600kbps up deal from Speakeasy.

Don't forget the static IP. That's something that usually costs you extra. You can run servers if you want too.

Is that the only ISP that is available? I'm sure there are other choices like cable or satellite.

Not for this speed and price.

I think this is awesome price from awesome company. Even though i had to dump DSLextreme last year because i had to have more upstream and qualified to get digizip line (1.5/768 for $44.99) , i was very happy with them. Since i have no contract with digizip , i'm very tempted to go back. I have to make up my mind , i dont know , on one hand i ALREADY have rock solid 1.3 - 655 line with no down time at all , on other i'd have to be without DSL for few weeks and still have less upload. (but much better download). 5 static IP's that i have with digizip might make me stay with them.

GOD , i HATE CHOISES

Hrm. I was paying close to $150/month for IDSL (144k/144k) in 1998. 6M for $60 is a pretty good deal to me.

768 Upload is very good, some will even trade their 6mbit/384k connection for that... faster download without faster upload sucks

I would be happy with 1500/256
