Default High Speed Internet Access

For those who knew i was pissed of last week i am okay TODAY!
Yes, i greatly appreciate T1/T3/DSL/Cable now. My T1 was down for 4 days. I was forced to USE 56K MODEM 56K sucks it took like 10 minutes just to sign on AOL.

I've actually been getting serious about broadband at home. My biggest beef is I can't justify $40 to $50 per month once all the introductory offers expire.

I have Direct TV, so I can't do AT & T braodband.

Any suggestions for service in the $30/month range?

TIA,

Jimbo

I've never dropped below 512kbps and have had it as high as 3.5mbps at times. Upload sucks at 112kb, but it's all about the d/l that i'm worried about.

Check out http://www.dslreports.com. They offer some great advice and also you can test your speed there.
512kbps!!!??? Wow, I gotta say...AT&T Broadband is INCREDIBLE!!! That's right....I have faster download speeds than most companies! Based on DSLreports.com I am getting 5.2 MEGABIT/s downloads consistently. It takes me less than 16 seconds to download a 10 MB file! This is the sickest fastest internet access I have ever seen! Man, the internet just doesn't offer anything fast enough for me anymore. My connection is S2000 fast and the rest of the internet is working on Civic speed Okay, I'm done for now...just thought I'd throw in a little harrasment. Take care!

Good thing you are whining now. You won't get a lot of sympathy next week after bankruptcy court shuts down all the @Home customers!!

Oh, and if you are looking for satellite based Internet, get StarBand, not DirecPC. Much better!!
