If SBC can offer DSL for this price, why can't it be a standard for all minimum speed DSL nation wide? |

| Because other companies waste their time being greedy or catoring only to the weathly areas.
Look at what you can get from Cox for $29.99 in Las Vegas: »www.cox.com/LasVegas/highspeedin···alue.asp A great 256K/128K connection! Wow, so fast! Oh wait, thats $39.99 because you have to rent the modem on top of that!
I suppose its only fair to look at the regular package at »www.cox.com/LasVegas/highspeedin···rred.asp which totals 49.99 afer modem rental and gives you 4.0/256 - but look closer: 7.5 Gigabyte transfer limit per month! According to google »www.google.com/search?q=7.5+GB%2···n+Kb%2Fs thats ALMOST 24Kb/s! You would be better off on a 33.6K dialup for half the price! |

  DSL_Steve Premium join:2003-11-28 Woodbury, CT | reply to oliphant I've had SBC DSL for 1.5 years now and its been rock-solid stable and very dependable. Its also a good deal. I have 1500-down/384-up for $26.95/month. The price isn't a special either. It'll be the same as long as I keep the service. |

I had PacBell's (now SBC) DSL for around 14 months (12-1999 to 3-2001) and when I saw how fast Cox Cable was I switched very quickly! DSL is so darned slow. |

join:2005-01-25 Atlanta, GA | reply to Admj I'm paying $55/month for 1.5x256. I could get it for $5 less per month if I really didn't give a damn about the ISP, though. Everything else is more expensive. |
