DSL yes! Cable no

hahahahaha

Verizon DSL wasnt worth the money some of thier claims are stretched quite a bit. I got a sales call for DSL a while back and the operator was telling me how it was so much faster that cable for the price. 29.95 for 768kb/128kb, 89.95 for 1.5mb/256kb. I told him I get 3mb/384kb with Adelphia for 34.95 and he was like "Oh well if you change your mind call us".
I have had Adelphia cable for 3+ years and have had little to no trouble.

I have verizon DSL because when i ordered it I had DirecTV and not cable. So i've been paying $39.95/mo for the last few years for a 768/384 line and yesterday I see an ad for verizon that says "upgrade to a 1.5m/384k line for $34.95/mo with no installation fee." I like upgrades that don't cost me anything to install and actually me money on my monthy bill.

uh... what are YOU smoking? You can't use a phone line with cable. You also can't pay your cable charges on a verizon phone bill because verizon doesn't sell cable and cable doesn't use phone lines. They're being freaking retarded about all of it, but there's nothing really wrong with those two points.

umm obviously those statements are TRUE, but they are completely meaningless in a competitive sense. well except maybe if you don't have cable tv, but many people don't have landlines either.

Half-truths.

I had verizon DSL when it was first offered in my area (around 1999). To be honest, I as really disappointed with the service.

Back then, it was more expensive, and it was only 640/128.

Also, they used this PPPoE software, and it didn't really work well with NT at the time.

If it's a dedicated line, why do I have to AUTHENTICATE to a server in order to use it? My cable modem is ALWAYS on... that stupid verizon service would "timeout" after a while, and I would be forced to "log in" to the authentication server. The damn server was down an AWFUL lot. Again, this 2as 5 years ago, so I'm sure it's better, but I wonder if they still use PPPoE and if you have to "login" in order to begin using the highspeed connection.

Incidentally, I'm not sure I'm sold on the "well, cable modems share bandwidth..." arguement. I mean, what do you think happens when you get into the central office?

My cable modem slows down considerably once the summer is over and all my fellow students move back in and begin downloading music, movies, and pr0n.

 

[WTT0001]

Yep, PPPOE is still used but its a bit better nowadays, the newer modems do it internally so its nothing to worry about, with the older ones just grab a router, set it up and don't worry about it from there
