Re: Illinois Residents Want DSL Pronto
parabrody,
Have you read the complaints in the SBBD forum??? SBBD is nice in Chicago right now because it is barely a month old here, and not many ppl are on...... You do realize this is dependent on your line of sight with the Sears Tower also? Two friends of mine, IN THE CITY, tried to get SBBD, and one was told that buildings are blocking his line of site, and the other was told he needed a 30 FOOT (yes 30 FOOT) pole put on his roof to mount the pizza box antenna on.... Obviously, the first was out of luck, and the second declined.
After being with Northpoint for 8 nice mos, through PSN.net and DSLi.com, I am finally with my ILEC, Ameritech. Some DSL, even ADSL, is better than nothing, and it only took them 3 weeks to get me up and running. At least I know, Ameritech will still be here, even with Rhythms burns through their cash later this year, and Covad in late 2002.
goodluck,
Dee |
