Commercial High Speed Access?

[Turin39789]

Going to be getting a house with some friends soon, considering paying extra and getting a higher speed/commercial line. Something above basic cable/dsl. Any good companies to look at? Im in Louisville Ky
Example of local zip: 40223


thanks

It's not worth it, unless you guys have a lot of extra money to blow.

If you've got the cash, go with a 1.1Mbps sDSL line with a static ip. Typically, this service will run about $200/month, and is far more cost effective than a T1.

Damn, that would be mighty nice.

You're really paying for the upload, though. You could get a 1.5/256k aDSL acct for half that... Really just depends on your area, too.

You can't beat 1.5m/256k cable for 55$/mo, IMO.

just found it for 50 locally!

looking to see what we could get if we bumped up to 100. there are going to be between 3-5 people at the place

Get a cable connection with 1.5 Mbps down. Save the extra money and use it to buy your router/switch. Do any of you have laptops? You should get a wireless access point as well.

we have routers/switches. and the guy who has a laptop already has all the wireless gear

You may wanna check out to see what kind of wireless providers are available in your area ... you way be lucky and have a 2mbit or 4mbit wireless ISP that charges between 100 and 200 a month ... Of course if you dont need the upstream ... than Cable modem, or home DSL is your best bet ((though i have heard some really good things about comcast pro (if its available by you)))

you guys are crazy! 1.5/256 is slow... i have 1.2/160, but that only costs $29 canadian per month.. so that's about $19usd/month. cable is 3-4mbps here. you can get 3.5mbps dsl but it's about $49cdn so about $30usd/month

$55usd for 1.5dsl is not "good"
