The other review is here is pretty much spot on. I rarely ever see a 2mb d/l speed, although that could be a number of factors.. but 60$/mo for a 2mb/512kb connection is nothing but robbery. I never bother to call tech support.. if resetting the modem doesn't work, I just call a few friends on the same service and usually we're all down if one of us is. It could be worse, but they really need to revise their pricing structure and upgrade the network.
I don't have a landline, just cell.. I've seriously considered breaking down and getting a regular phone line again, but I have no guarantee my DSL speed would be better. It appears AT&T offers naked DSL in the area now, and the website is quoting me 40$ for 3mb and 45$ for a 6mb, although I'm doubtful on the speeds, if I even got 1.5mb-2mb at the 40$ tier it would be worth it. I'll be switching over middle of November but not going to cancel my cable connection until I see the DSL actually working.
