Hey guys, while we're on the performance provider issue, I'd like to ask you all about Speakeasy's DSL packages. I'm currently on SW Bell DSL here at home, and would like to have a few more slots in my private CS server. I currently give $59/month for 1.5Mb/s down and 128Kb/s up with 5 static IPs. SW Bell wants $179/month for 384Kb/s outbound (their max upload rate for ADSL in St. Louis, period), with the same 1.5Mb/s down. That's outrageous!
Speakeasy offers "classic" ADSL at 1.5Mb/s down, and 768Kb/s up for $99 with 2 static IPs. Have any of you had any experiece with Speakeasy (besides the HLDS auth stuff), and specifically with this package, or a similar one? If any of you have had experience with Speakeasy ADSL, and hosting game servers on it, or know someone who has, please tell me all you can, good and bad. Thx a bunch.
