Internet Problems?

You have a box, just like cable, though the connection runs through phone line instead of through cable. Though it goes through your phone line, your phone can still be used, unlike with dial up. Verizon DSL in this area is very good, I dont think mine has had any downtime in over 2 years and i think its cheaper. Also, your download speeds will be around 1/5 of a megabyte per second. Thats blazing fast, 200K per sec. Cant beat that for a cheaper price and with no downtime either.

I'm not even sure what I'm paying for internet service. I think it is $42.00 or something like that.

I believe Verizons new deal is 29 a month with a free wireless router(means you can hook up more then one computer and if you have a laptop with a wireless card you dont have to hook it up at all"...one year committment though.

In 2 years I have just went down once, and that wanst Verizon's fault some dummy drilled through a cable over in Appy town and half the towns phone service was down.

I don't mind the year as long as it is good service. I don't mind that price either. Beats 40 something.

I think they have great service. Never had a problem, any time I called their tech support they always answered my questions good.

I will be calling them bright and early in the AM. I appreciate all the help, all of you. Thanks

My Adelphia is doing fine, just trun off computer, unplug modem, and let it set for a while, then hook it back up and restart.

I get 300-400 kbs,I have done some tuning on mine though.
