Really, no SLAs on DSL? A google search on "SLA DSL" turned up a few hits: http://global.mci.com/ca/customer/sla/dsl.xml?SetLang=en http://www.earthlink.net/about/policies/biz_sla/ http://www.dsl.net/legal_sla_sdsl.php That was just on the first page. I can't think of any residential/consumer grade services that have an SLA. They may be out there. That does nothing to reduce the fact that DSL is just as good of a connectivity type as any other. Better in some ways, worse in others. The bandwidth is going to be there on any healthy network. Here in Qwest land the 1.5/1.0 standard service is stable at full speed to far more than 1000 feet from the CO. And yes, the 1.0 up is nice and rock stable. -- Hexis www.hxxl.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
