I've been very satisfied with BS. The only problem is in their technical support... their reps are scripted of course and don't support Linux. Linux works just fine with the actual connection; I have a smoothwall computer that works fine (if not better than the Windows crap) with the modem, and outputs more useful error information when the bad stuff occurs.
So while I can recommend them... just remember that if you have to call support for any reason, learn how to lie and pretend you're running Windoze or they'll hang up on you. Aaron Joyner already replied with the obligatory Intrex DSL plug. I'm considering moving to them from BS, because their support IS Linux-friendly, plus all the TriLUG membership perks. -Jeff On Mon, 2004-06-28 at 21:26, Tayfun Teksoy wrote: > Is BellSouth DSL service better than Time Warner Internet connection. > Recently I am experiencing problems with time warner cable modem connection. > > My connection speed varies between 1000kbps and 300kbps down link, > 80kbps and 300kbps uplink. > > My recent test shows *582**/ 310*kbps. > > I am frustrated with inconsistent link speeds,time outs and considering > to switch to Bell South DSL connection. > > Does any one have experience with both and compare the advantages and > disadvantages of each. > > Is DSL connection Linux friendly, it seem like they do not support Linux > on their web page. > > Thanks in advance for all responses. -- Jeff Tickle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> JTSoft.net -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
