Re: Speakeasy aren't the only hot swap pioneers

My local ISP (IQuest) drove me to DirecTV when they backed out of their promise of a free modem and wanted to charge me for one AND take away my static IP. That is why DirecTV was ideal. Static IP, DNS service, great tech support, a 768/128 connection, add your own hub/switch/router, no "garbage" just clean internet, and more--where else can I get all of that for $49.99/mo.? Now, there is NO WHERE. I'm not going back to my local good-for-nothing ISP. Once bitten, twice shy.

Good for nothing local ISP? Cmon man... I totally agree with the statement previously made "Free Modem's, Install, and Setup mean they won't be in business long". So what if you have to pay $99 bucks up front? Isn't it worth it in the long run to get not only better internet service & customer service but also a company that's gonna stay around? People need to quit being cheap. Here's a news flash "BROADBAND IS NOT AS CHEAP AS DIALUP" You want cheap... go back to dialup, cuz quality broadband, while not costing an arm and a leg, will definately cost you a few dollars more a month.
