DSL Extreme - who needs a referal?

I'm about to sign up for DSL Extreme and am looking for someone with a current account who would like a referal credit. First one to shoot me a PM or email (aaron.weiss [AT] gmail.com) gets it...

Thanks,
Aaron
 
Um, I don't think they can top that. But if you have an account with them you'll get $20 if I mention you referred me...

Still open...

A T1 is only 1.544 Mbps. So many people think of a T1 as being a super fast connection...it's nothing special anymore.

It does have a much longer range than DSL and typically carries an SLA which DSL does not, though.

T1 is overpriced crap, but it's guaranteed, so we have to pay the premium 🙁

I understand SLAs. All I was inferring was that if a 50/10Mbps service is not enough bandwidth for you, then a T1 probably isnt going to be any improvement.

Even with the guarantee that a T1 gives you, and the lack of a guarantee that you have with residential service, I bet 99.99% of the time the 50/10 residential service will out-perform a T1.

Yes, but with a T1 line, you get priority support. We had a tech on site within an hour when one of the T1s went down. That probably would not have happened with business DSL.

Again, like I said before, I understand what a SLA is and the level of service you get when you have a T1. At the beginning of this thread, someone was asking about upgrading a 50/10 residential line, and someone else mentioned a T1. My comments had nothing to do with the SLA, priority service, or anything else other than the speed of the line and the fact that a T1 is a pretty mediocre amount of bandwidth these days...

Appologies to the OP...this thread has now substantially digressed from its original purpose...
