He was amazed at the increase in speed. I say go for it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9625444 Tue, 09 Mar 2004 10:58:33 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9624001 bmn : As a veteran of Cox and Bellsouth, the choice for me was simple after dealing with Cox. Bellsouth.

While Bellsouth may not have 3Mbps (YET), Bellsouth makes up for the shortcoming everywhere else. Its more reliable... Its most consistent... Lower latency... Better backbone connections (Level3 and Worldcom)... NO download byte-caps... Excellent technical support, who can actually do something, unlike Cox where they scratch their head while on the phone for two hours and then roll a truck without doing more than pinging (true story)...

Its up to you, but take it from some one who was in your spot once (Cox screwed up our billing in the process of trying to fix an overcharge, cute), make the leap.

Oh yeah, one more thing... Proper sentence structure is your friend. It makes it easier for tired people like me to read. ;)

how about this...

You paid with a credit card, they're denying that you paid any amounts, so...

Call your credit card company, tell them that the money that was charged to your credit card was A FRAUDULENT TRANSACTION and file a claim WITH YOUR CREDIT CARD COMPANY.

Your cable company denies having any payments on record and that you need to pay them. Your credit card company CAN get your money back by simply looking at the transaction. If your cable company doesn't have a signed slip, then your credit company eats the loss and you get your money back. If you credit card company doesn't want to lose, they'll post it as a charge-back on your credit card and your cable company will be charged for it (which will cost them the amount of the transaction plus a charge-back fee).

OF COURSE! Neither your credit card company nor your cable company will want to lose so 1. Your credit card company takes the loss and puts a note on your account and the merchant's account or 2. Your cable company says the transaction was legal, and it's force to PROVE to the credit card company that they LEGALLY took the money from your account for SERVICES PROVIDED... in which case proves that THEY DID CHARGE YOU AND YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICES.

Stupid consumer whores...

Stick with your cable company.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9593174 Fri, 05 Mar 2004 20:06:15 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9592873 Dan Koerner : This, »/speedtests/12···78532963, is fairly consistent 24/7.

A wife (Bellsouth DSL) is a quality investment (for the most part) that gives love consistently and graciously and never lets you down. A prostitute (Cable) on the other hand is overly expensive and does often fail to deliver if she can rob you first and get away with it.

We consistently get 1250 down. On cable, you may not get 700 down at peak. (Which you know already...I researched your posting history and it seems that you are pretty disappointed in the fact that peak times can really hurt a cable connection)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9592844 Fri, 05 Mar 2004 19:28:00 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9592808 Dundeal4 : 2004-02-18 01:08:00 Speed test @ ec 2907/235 kbps
is the fastest test i've gotten so far from cox cable.. i 've tested at bandwidthplace.com and got 3.2mb/s download but i dunno for sure what 2907, but thats what i go on one of the test on here.. does DSL From bellsouth measure up to that.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9592808 Fri, 05 Mar 2004 19:23:46 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9592760 Dundeal4 : its retarded ...my cc statement wont be able to tell me till the end of the month and cox is being pretty anul about it which i think its there fault cause on my info it says payment recieved and stuff but they they say they dont have the money.. in all seriouness i just wanna know which is better... DSL or CABLE i'm in louisiana, baton rouge and there's alimited stuff that i can get its either cox or bellsouth.. so which is better..]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9592760 Fri, 05 Mar 2004 19:19:10 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9591464 greekgod2u : It seems to me that your credit card statement should serve as your receipt. It will have a reference number with the transaction. That is all the proof of payment you need.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9591464 Fri, 05 Mar 2004 17:03:06 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9587297 brandon : Seriously what you should do is work on making a more-than-one-sentence paragraph.

Bellsouth isn't going to give you 3+mbit speeds...at least not yet, though late this month appears to be the upgrade date. You're right about not being shared like cable, and generally nothing changes in your download/upload/ping all day long. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9587297 Fri, 05 Mar 2004 08:49:37 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9586741 Juke Box : Why don't you call your CC company and verify who you paid 231.32?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9586741 Fri, 05 Mar 2004 06:37:14 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9586582 hailinfantry : Well, you can either pay 300.00/month for crappy cable and HSI or you can pay 49.00/month for quality internet access through a tried-and-true data services provider. Why would you even consider staying with a company that screwed you? Sure, downloads are capped lower on BS, but it seems to me that the price you're paying isn't worth it.

People go from OOL (10Mbps/1Mbps) to Verizon (1.5Mbps/128Kbps) all the time for the exact same reason and they're getting much higher throughput than you ever did. It's about quality/price, not quantity to these intelligent folks. FYI our upload isn't 128, it's 256.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9586582 Fri, 05 Mar 2004 05:17:44 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9586142 Dundeal4 : Ok, i've posted on here before as i said about how i've been a loyal member to cox for quite sometimes since they were @Home.. However recently cox decided to screw me horribly on a bill that i paid recently. A tech came out to disconnect me when i gave him my cc over the phone he took everything and said great, well a week lately cox calls me saying i owe them over 300+ dollars.. insane.. when i just paid 231.32. I lost the ticket yes myfault but cox says they dont keep that crap on records, bull crap.. so now i'm either being forced to pay this outragous bill or switch to bellsouth.. alot of people tell me mix reviews.. and i wanna get the low down, when i had cox i was over 3+ mb/s download thats no bull my upload was between 200 and 250kbps.. i was perfectly fine with my upload i was more concerned with my download.. i've never had a friend own or have own dsl myself i was wondering how it compared to dsl before i switched over people tell me that dsl is faster and Hint the name "Direct" service line meaning it isn't shared like cable.. but seriously.. what should i do :(.. is the switch worth it or should i just stick with cox..]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9586142 Fri, 05 Mar 2004 02:26:49 EDT
