| Waiting on DSL That's correct WAITING. I had DSL and spent more time waiting than surfing. My Comcast connection works much better than any DSL I've seen. Can't say much about the computer support from Comcast because I never need it. DSL - Digitally Slow Line. | |

| Re: Waiting on DSL Not really excited about it I moved to a new apartment last year I could no longer get the extreme service which was 4megs down. They told me I was to far from the co and all I could get was basic dsl anyway we switched to charter and got there 3meg package so far so good. Charter is supposed to be rolling out a 5 meg package soon I'll be seriously taking a look at it when they do. By the way I'm located in Hoover alabama. | |

| I wonder... I recieved a letter from Bellsouth the other day saying that I now qualified for the new Xtreme tier. It didnt specify any speeds though, so I am wondering if it is the old 3mbps tier. The whole reason I switched to Comcast was so I could get that 768kbps upload speed. Anyone have any idea what the upload for BS's 6mbps tier is supposed to be? I really miss my DSL and would like to switch back, this 6mbps that is actually 3mbps on average from Comcast is crap.

| Xtreme 6.0 I've been calling once a day just to see what kind of answers I will get to the question of when Xtreme 6.0 will be available. It's also fun to see if you get someone on the phone from the US, India, or the Philippines, but anyway... Yesterday I got the most specific answer yet. She said "early November", but that I was welcome to call back and check again before that time.... India, in case you were wondering. | |

But is that any way to prop up statistics.. like saying the unemployment rate bumped up, but don't worry, the economy overall is doing great!
Hmm.. that's conservative math at work. | |

| megs megs megs Their target is stable HDTV on demand, which requires
about 12 Meg service. Their target is also alot nearer
than 50 years... DS1/DS3/OC3 distribution is being phased
out and replaced by OC192/gigabit ethernet to bring the higher speeds closer to the end user- which makes the last mile less of a performace consideration. | |

| Re: megs megs megs 12 meg per set maybe. No way your going to get a decent HD signal to 3-4 HD sets in a home on 12 meg and therin lies the problem with Bellsouth's plan.
From what I've seen discussed. The 2007 rollout will allow for up to 24mbs of service. Where can you fit multiple HD service and a data offering that will compete with cable offerings. Of course that's without massive HD compression which is just sinful.
It's been pointed out to me that Bellsouth doesn't compete with Verizon because their in different markets. Well, as a consumer, it doesn't do much for Bellsouth's 'high quality image' (some posters here who work for Bellsouth have this misguided feeling that Bellsouth has this image that's better than Comcast's or other companies) to know that my local phone company stinks compared to other area's local service. Especially if I'm forced into using their service even though in comparison I'm getting far less for my dollar that other areas because they are the only game in town. | |
