Re: Britsys convince me!
Hey Raymondh,
Well you are one of the lucky people that can possibly qualify (depending on loop length) for the line-sharing ADSL from the BTLGWA01 central office as this is the only product that comes close to the price of cable. It would also require Qwest phone service....
The dedicated may be what you want but it comes at a higher price. You may also need you old qwest phone number when placing the order to verify the address.
We do now offer (Its New) residential SDSL with an optional block of routed IP's, this runs $89 for 384/384, $99 for 768/768 and $119 for 1000/1000. I static is included, the router is fully functional and an extra 5 routed IP's is $10 per month.
If price is the biggest issue i would stick with the cable and find a buddy with a T1 willing to let you house your server there

| Aww, 1000/1000 makes me so jealous, too bad newedge isn't in my area (are there any plans to expand the area it covers)... Currently I'm on 384/384 sdsl from megaripoff i mean megapath and it costs 139/m... It is, however a routed connection, and I get 9-12ms ping to the gateway.
I have some questions tho... Is newedge equipment better than covad's (i know that newedge offers 2.3/2.3 sdsl and covad tops out at 1.5/1.5), as in does it work out to greater distances...
Rhythms and Northpoint used coppermountain stuff and coppermountain dslams kick the crap out of covad's nokia (my covad loop at 13,900 couldn't hold sync at 768 and my rhythms loop at 14,500 never dropped sync at 784). What kind of equipment does newedge use? |

New York, NY |  All of NewEdge DSLAM's are from Newbridge.
Newbridge was acquired by Alcatel a couple of years ago.
We have customers with good condition loops 15,000' in length holding 768/768.

Boy I sure wish I could get those kind of prices. I pay $104 for 384/384. If I could get the 1000/1000 for $119 I would jump all over it. I am locked into a 1 yr contract however that just started. I did ask my provider Directinternet, if they could match the price, I am still awaiting a response. |

Do the Newbridge DSLAM's have that advantage against covad's dslams in adsl mode as well? If so, I'll recommend that he goes through a newedge isp (he's leaning more towards adsl right now). Also, where would he be routed if he were to go through britsys, as stated earlier, he's in the bakersfield area. |

| Lasker,
If he has PacBell available in his area he should go for that, especially if he can find an independent ISP that sells PacBell in his LATA.
Our POP is in Portland Oregon, most users in Northern California are about 16 to 20 ms to the gateway, ADSL-LS may be slightly higher than the SDSL.
