compuguybna Posted June 3, 2009 CID Share Posted June 3, 2009 I had DSL under Bellsouth while I lived in Nashville. I got 6.0mbps all the time, consistently. I think I was paying $32. Never had 1 issue with it. (Its 6 miles down the road here, but they wont run it any further) WHY are you wanting to switch to COMCAST??? I had issue after issue with them relating to speed and billing... Of course, I'm out in the boonies now and have HughesNet (1.5mbps) but anything's better than Dial-up.

Juliand Posted June 4, 2009 Author CID Share Posted June 4, 2009 I'm trying to save few bucks on my total monthly bill. with comcast triple play (Internet - HD TV - phone service) it's about 145 a month, a savings of maybe??? 30 a month now... Bellsouth (AT&T) dropped their newsgroups, so that was the deciding factor for them... I use a dedicated news server now..I pay more, but I'm not feeding AT&T...

waymag Posted June 6, 2009 CID Share Posted June 6, 2009 I think they are trying to limit the newsgroups because of kiddie porn is what I heard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
