Rob,
Right now im considering it. I have DSL, and because of a clerical
error (in a billing program), my dsl has been down since about 1:15pm
yesterday (wed, april 5, 2000). I did talk with the @home people, a few
months ago, but they sounded rediculous (they said if i wanted to run my
own services, they were not currently setup for that, and that when they
were in my area, it would be over $200/month for the minimum service with
static ip's.
Right now im loosing my mind over another USWest screw up and im
totally fed up! I would like to stay with DSL, but I cant figure out how
to get USWest out of my life and have dsl. If anyone has any ideas or
suggestions on how i can keep my network online, with a reasonable speed,
and not use USWorst, and be affordable, i would really like to hear them
rigt about now :)
