costs

Upfront costs are kind of steep for locking you into a 2 year contract. I just clicked their banner and checked their info page. Not available in my state tho. (whats new)

Re: costs

I understand fully about the Innetix part. They couldnt even get me to work. Seems that they cater to the business accts more so than the little guy who cant get dsl.

Californians!

Jeez, you guys out on the Left Coast will pay just about anything for pretty close to nothing. (How else can you explain 2,000 square foot houses on 1/4 acre lots selling at a million bucks?)
Anyway, the folks you reviewed sell a 1,000/1,000 residential svc for $200 per month *WITH* a 2 year contract!
Down here in the bayou, we'd call that a little steep. I get the same DSL svc with BellSouth for $45 per month, and better than that cable with Charter for $49. In truth, I run *BOTH* svcs (because I too cannot afford to have any interruptions) for 1/2 what you run yours.
I think you're getting ripped off.

1) Taxes
2) Building Codes and other regulations
3) Reduction of available land for housing due to zoning, set-asides for greenbelts, etc.
4) Did I mention taxes?

DSL - crappy pppoe junk (capped at 128kbps)
Charter - (capped at 128kbps)

anything with decent upload is worth that kind of money providing its stable and their network it kept upgraded and grows as they add users.

Re: Californians!

Who is your local ISP providing capped DSL at 128k? Sounds like bull to me. I'm on a DSL line now thats 1.5mps/256k. I'm getting 11 times the speed at half the cost.

Just about everyone out in the boon dogs can get high speed internet, but in the city, oddly enough, we cant all get it, so if you can even find a service that serves you, its worth money.
