comments on review of ReliaNET → Re: Not sure about bang for the buck

I will agree the techs have been great. I went to school with a few of them and they are great. The problem goes beyond Napster and people setting up home servers. People have flocked to the service and are still flocking to the service. So until the new servers and ds3 line we will have DSL performance at a premium price. You will notice connection speeds have been removed from the home page. I sold a number of my friends on changing there dial ups to relia and since they have picked up net arrow and blue ice the have as much fun connecting as people did to AOL a few years ago. So at the momment I will say it is not the finest of experiences but I will post as soon as they rectify the situation.

Thanks for your comment. Hear hear! I had forgotten about the net arrow and blue ice customers. They really need to get going on the increased bandwidth due to increased (dramatic) customer base.

Well I just sent ReliaNet an e-mail asking them about when they expect improve their bandwidth given my wireless connection has dropped down to an average 300-400K sometimes. Hopefully I hear back soon, because I'm seriously considering switching to A T & T cable internet, because a neighbor of mine three doors up gets 2-3Mbs downloads. Wow - I'm jealous. The wireless satellite is capable of 5Mbs up/5Mbs down if they could get even a fractional DS3 that would support that amount of bandwidth to the internet. I'm frustrated.

I'm going to contact Relianet this afternoon and see what there plans are for this service. My speeds are currently 300 K or less. Will be in touch on there response.

Hey there. I quit ReliaNet yesterday. I'm now with A T & T Cable and enjoying 3-3.8MB bandwidth now (400-400k/second download speeds) - it's wonderful - better than wireless at it's best when I signed up a year ago. I'm going to sell my equipment on EBAY.
