[The Red Guy]

Is ADSL missing or is it insignificant?

[Daniel]

ADSL, SDSL, VDSL, all the same fricking thing.

Wheres the option for DS3, OC-3, OC-12, etc.?

[Gayowulf]

Daniel- choose T1 or Higher.


I'm on dialup. 28.8

It's fast for 56k, really......no lag in CS at all. My ping is usually in the 190's to 250's.

And Bruce, how the hell did you get 15mbit DSL? In MAINE too ;)

@Home went under, AT&T renamed it from AT&T @Home to ATTBI(AT&T Broadband Internet)

[adizlaja]

Oh yeah, but the service is still the same and still under the same company. Only the name changed, but the service is still there. Still, the name @home is very common and many use it, even some ATT salesmen that I spoke to.

And @home is NOT common, they went out of business quite some time ago. People just forget that the name has changed.

[adizlaja]

I thought ATT owned @Home, because I remember seeing advertisements say "ATT @Home." :confused:

[GregT]

@home was owned by excite i think, and when excite dropped them ATTBI and comcast.net were creater

[Who?]

@Home just sold bandwidth to places like AT&T and comcast, so thats why AT&T used AT&T @Home

[Ben]

I remember seeing Cox@Home advertisements about two years ago in Louisiana....

[Cox is a cable TV/cable internet provider]

[manni]

56k.

They were partnered. AT&T provided the cable and @Home ran the servers, etc. Then @Home went out of business leaving many people (including myself) without internet access until AT&T got their own network up.

[adizlaja]

I see. That makes sense. When did ATT make these changes?

[Archbob]

DSL now. I don't see what difference in cable and dsl when I'm uploading text files for my website though.

[Dusty]

56k for now, though once I ever get around to buying a new computer I think I'll try DirecTV's two-way satellite transceiver thing.

[Dusty]

Plan one: There's a $580 setup charge then it's $60 a month.
Plan two: There's a $100 setup charge then it's $100 a month.

Both plans are for the same thing, just a different payment scheme.
