|  Apartment Listings for DLS.NET
Was wondering if anyone on broadbandreports.com knows of any apartment complexes that have/allow dls.net... specifically, looking for something in the 10/10 area. I pretty much work from home, and have drooled over DLS.net for about 4 years (if not more). Anyway, I thought this might be a handy thing for folks to know...
And to DLS.net: Get in gear! There's a whole metropolitan area you aren't covering! And we all want it!
Thanks!

| Apartments that allow dls.net
I am currently in the SW suburbs; however, location isn't really a problem since I work from home about 98% of the time. As I told the dls.net folks, I might even pay a premium in rent to have the 10mb/10mb bandwidth.
Was thinking we could start a thread about this for folks like me, who are still transient and not yet ready to settle in a permanent location, but are tired of upload/download caps. I've been drooling over dls.net since I first heard about it back in 2001 or so.
So, if you know of any apartment complexes/buildings that either allow or provide access to the 10/10 service, please post 
Thanks,
-Andy |

Re: Apartment Listings for DLS.NET
I know a complex in Crystal Lake that will probably allow the small dish. Did you check out the dls forum?
There's no guarantee you'll get those speeds. And if you get locked into a year lease, and get speeds no better than cable or dsl........

| You need to e-mail or pm me. Since I work there, I'd like to have some connection to you other than anonymous.
They used to let them have the "dish", but the dishes were huge, and a lot got left behind when they moved. The ones that were taken down left large screw holes that weren't repaired correctly.
Since you use the connection for work, right? I think they will make an exception when they realize how small the units are.
Anything for a BBR member. uh..
