Question anyone had bad experience with DSL service?

Question

My DSL service used to be great, then six months ago the company did work in the area and since my DSL service has been less then miserable. The provider said that what they did should not have impaired my service, Right !!! . I have made several calls to cust service, had reps come out and check wiring, replaced modem, cust support remotely logged onto my machine and ran diagnostics and still have constant intermittant connectivity problems. I am so frustrated that I am going to try high speed cable even though it is more expensive, anyone have similar problems with DSL, is cable the answer ?

Answer 1

dsl is fine depending on your area. I get a 7 meg out of mine which aint bad for an overhead copper cable in a sleepy village. I have more problems with keeping my pc glitch free than broadband which is why i have a ps3.

Answer 2

Cable, is the answer! *high pitched 70's disco singing*

Answer 4

we suffered with the 'new' att, the same old sbc for two years.

1.5 mbps maybe

we jumped to cavalier as soon as they came to town

200+mbps
