Re: Verizon as an alternative for those cancelling.
Differciam: No servers? Does it really stop anyone from making servers? I know plentlyof friends who keep 24/7 counter-strike servers up. What stops them? I imagine that no servers is in the policy of many ISPs as well.

Re: Verizon as an alternative for those cancelling
Well there you have it Differenciam. I don't know where you got your figures from but people are still paying 49.99 for the services. There's nothing surprising about that anyway. And be aware, like ISP such as DSLExtreme, Cyberonic is a regional ISP (though they are expanding as the rest of them). Depending on where you are, or of cooperative ILEC (although this is not much an issue as of now), and/or distance, you may or may not get service from Cyberonic.
Breacker here in th NY -- Verizon Territory. Being that Worldcom serves in his area, he's able to recieve services from Cyberonic

Ok heres what I know
1. HOME!!!! DSL service is 49.99 a month (a link for proof)
»www.cyberonic.com/int-for-home.shtml
2. From what I was told when I signed up, I was getting my service with through worldcom lines.
3. Thers no catch other than plain old service thats it no special progs. no winpoet no nothing just basic emails, 10mb webspace (wich is ftp) and 1500/768 service (1300/640 average from most users). |

I don't know what is going on with Cyberonic in terms of billing but with previous references I have done, the service for a 1500/768 line was provided for 49.99 through worldcom and many users are paying at that price as of now. So I can't take your comments as fact as of yet. And yes Rhythm is dead but it's worldcom that Cyberonic is reselling at such speeds (or was from what you are telling us). Though I heard that the price figure you mentioned earlier was for a business type setup, I still cannot confirm as of yet.

 Toldja, there is NO WAY IN HELL a service could have that speed so cheap. If it could be that cheap, we'd have 900 reviews a week for them.
It was that cheap, did you check the reviews I posted above. Plus its not available in all areas so there wouldn't be that many reviews.

Usually 1500/768 for 49.99. Its a great service for the price.
That is BS. I called them, and they said rythyms has to be the telco or provider or something(I forget all the DSL vocabulary). Cyberonic resells rythym's service for $50 a month, 1500k/768k. Rythyms is available to practically no one, and the only other choice is to have the service of 1500k/768k resold by cyberonic through worldcom, which is over $100 a month. Ifr you are not available to rythyms, you have to get 608k/128k service for $60 a month, RIP OFF.
Its not BS, ask any user on here that has had a good experience with Cyberonic. You can get the service through Worldcom with Cyberonic as your ISP for 49.99. Now if you were to get the service DIRECTLY from Worldcom then it is over $100.
And the catch is... *waits to hear catch before cancelling Verizon*
I take back what I said cause it seems Cyberonic has raised the price to $119. It was $49.99 before. My bad just checked their page here on DSLR.

And Jonson9688, RoadRunner/Earthlink cable means no servers, P2P can be considered a server, that is all.

I"m going with Cyberonic, so far it's been a little bumpy, but I think that's because the line I'm getting it on has had problems in the past and isn't very good. Anyways at least the tech support has been helpfull and Worldcom is working on the line now.

Still having problems even as of now? BTW, I'm curious but what were you DSLAM stats on your previous trials with DSL? I remember you mentioned about having two lines or something, both of which are of concerns on your loop quality a long while ago.

1) Chose verizon since it's what AOL PLUS dumbs down, it's the closest to it, and it's cheap.
2) Everyone who hates Verizon uses WinPoet... funny... so did I the first 5 seconds I used winpoet until I deleted it all, and when I did, it was great.
