I'm settling in nicely to my high-speed life. It's so pleasant when the phone rings while I'm surfing the net. Plus, by the time I turn my computer on and get my coffee poured, I'm ready to go.
Wow...I think Joey and I are definitely gonna have to look into getting DSL...and soon!
Get cable instead Lo! ;) That way you don't have to worry about distance. :)
What do you mean..."worry about distance"? :shrug
To be eligible for DSL, you have to be closer than 12,000 miles to your local telephone junction. About 2 miles. And they SAY that transmission speed slows over distance from that junction. But I think it's more pronounced with ISDN than DSL.
Cable, if you can get it, is a little slower, and if you've got RoadRunner then God help you, but a little easier and most of the time cheaper.
I had RoadRunner before Cox Cable instituted their own and it rocked! We had it for over a year. Cox is just as good as far as I can tell....
Well, I have CyberMesa, but I think it bought out Roadrunner or something (at least in this area...the "Roadrunner" name sounds familiar to me, and I seem to remember something in the booklet that we got when we signed up w/ Cybermesa that "@roadrunner.com" was one of the e-mail addresses Cybermesa "now served"...:shrug). Anyway, we got an e-mail several weeks/months ago saying that we had been "approved" for DSL, so I guess we're within the distance requirements. :shrug
Good luck either way Lo! ;)
Excellent, Lobeck! I hope you make the switch, although it runs contrary to your "saving money" resolution.
