Re: Relevant topic...;)
Went to covad. Slightly better DL speed than I had with DTV, UL is a little less, but that's because I had to go to ADSL from SDSL.
I'm not crazy about paying the $69.00 a month, but it's better than nothing, which was my only other alternative.
I have a fixed IP (not static), but I can run a server and it works just fine. |

Nashua, NH | smithjm, it may not be an option or something you want to do, but Covad will knock $5/month off of the telesoho package if you let them autobill your credit card. I do that, it's 65/month, I get an email every month regarding the transaction. |

At the risk of sounding like a smartass....what the hell is the difference between a fixed IP and a static IP?

| Thanks jydub, I'll look into that since they are already auto-billing my CC.
Maximus,
So far I have seen no obvious difference except when I set up the router. A fixed IP by Covad's definition means that you still use DHCP but you get the same IP address every time. |
