I retired to Mexico from New York City, where I used Verizon ADSL ($39.00 per month) at home and had a T1 connection at work. I'm not paying these rates because I want to. If TelMex ever gets a reliable ADSL link to my neighborhood I'll be off that satellite dish in a heartbeat. IMHO, Direcway gets away with their shoddy service because they are a last resort solution to a problem. For me, it's still faster than the 33.6 dialup and it's been up 24/7 (including through the hurricane) since it was installed, which is more than I can say for the wireless link I was using that had 90 days of downtime in the 6 months I suffered with it.

The arrogance days are over for Dway...there is valid competition out there now and more coming. They know they are fighting for their lives now and changes must occur or they will go bye-bye. I believe they will make significant changes over the next few months and compete...we'll see
