Re: Speakeasy/WorldCom ADSL
This SpeakEasy 1.5/768 with 2 ip's for $99 seems like the best deal around for those who want a decent upstream speed.
Do they block/hijack any ports ? |

Los Angeles, CA | Got any links for this -- or how to arrange it?
How strong are their links into the backbones? Anything like they claim? |

|  They offer business class access at those prices and they have peering agreements with several (seven I think) level 1 providers for their backbone. As for their policies re: port blocking and acceptable uses I don't have a link handy, but they have very very few restrictions.
From their website:
Best of Breed connectivity via InterNAP
2 hops to 11 major Internet backbones
Guaranteed Service Level Agreement
Free unlimited dialup account
Dedicated business technical support team
Up-to-the-minute installation status via Total Account ControlTM
NAT by default, up to 32 IPs if needed
Primary & Secondary DNS services for up to 5 domains
10 Speakeasy email boxes and unlimited aliases
From their website:
Moderations of Use:
Bandwidth: As an ISP, Speakeasy's bottom line is determined partially by the amount of bandwidth customers utilize. Speakeasy can normally balance that cost and utilization while continuing to provide great service to all customers. Customers will not be charged for the bandwidth consumed, nor do we have specific limits or caps on that bandwidth. If you utilize any of your Speakeasy services in a manner which consumes excessive bandwidth or affects Speakeasy's core equipment, overall network performance, or other users' services, Speakeasy may require that you cease or alter these activities.
News server connections are a limited resource and shared among all Speakeasy members. The number of simultaneous news server connections is limited to your service package details. Speakeasy does not guarantee throughput to news servers.
Speakeasy does not allow customers authoritative control of their own reverse DNS within the speakeasy.net or speakeasy.org domain.
Speakeasy believes in the right of the individual to publish information they feel is important to the world via the Internet. Unlike many ISP's, Speakeasy allows customers to run servers (web, mail, etc.) over their Internet connections.
Any service that causes a disruption in the network integrity of Speakeasy or its vendors, whether directly or indirectly, is strictly prohibited and could result in termination of service. This may include but is not limited to: IRC servers, adult-content servers, bots, webpages hosted on any Speakeasy servers, or servers connected to a Speakeasy provided Internet connection. Speakeasy reserves the right of final discretion.
Speakeasy has a strict policy regarding network abuse. If you use your Speakeasy account to distribute unsolicited commercial or bulk email (spam), harass, defraud, hack or otherwise attempt to gain unauthorized access to any systems, networks or accounts, Speakeasy reserves the right to suspend and/or terminate your account and all Speakeasy-provided services immediately, without advanced notice. Speakeasy reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to make a determination of what constitutes abuse and you agree that Speakeasy's determination is final and binding on you.
You are ultimately responsible for any and all activity that originates from your Internet circuit regardless of your knowledge of such activity. This includes but is not limited to activity by other household members, friends and guests. This also applies to security breaches of your own system by others who launch attacks from your machine. It is absolutely imperative that everyone with an Internet connection take proper precautions to ensure the security of their machine.
Speakeasy vigorously pursues all instances of abuse. If you feel you have been attacked or spammed, please notify Speakeasy's Abuse Department and appropriate action can be taken.

Los Angeles, CA | The links that I find on Speakeasy all refer to a Covad-type service of 1.5/384, nothing is 1.5/768.
Any hints or should I just call them? |

Arcadia, CA | if your signing on for residential you gotta fill out everything then find the comparison for all that lists. If you go to the business you should be able to see the comparison chart on the next page. just click on that and you'd see the speeds. |

For the Speakeasy 1.5/768 service, you need to look under the Business class stuff for the "NetCommuter" package. |
