Just FYI, watch for an announcement from us in the near future about a
new wireless Internet service we'll be providing, that will achieve
much higher speeds than what's available with DSL. We expect to
announce this in March sometime. (We're waiting for some backordered
equipment.)
[If this is too much of an ad, lemme know and I won't do it again.]

My cable hasn't been too bad for uploading, compared to
dial up at

downstream, even though it isn't supposed to.
You would be lucky
to get 384up out of ADSL, maybe VDSL but I don't think that anybody
offers that around here. Me and Sebastian used to share an ADSL line at
work and we never got above 60kbps upstream, at least as far as I can
remember. SBC does have some 6Mbps/600Kbps plans but you have to be
really close to a station and you do have to get a phone line with it.
I think that costs around $100/month after taxes and all that.
One of the guys that I work with has satellite service and he
gets around 2.2Mbps upstream, although his service is around
$800/month. The equipment was also around $2000 but it was his only
choice out where he lives.

I've been on Hot Spot Broadband for about 16 months now, which is a
point to point wireless.
There have been a couple of glitches - and I have to confess that
really crappy weather like we had a year ago January
can mess it up, but for the most part they have been quite responsive.
My download varies from 1.5 to 3.2 down and upload varies from around
.7 to 1.2. The more I use a given connection
the higher and more stable it stays, which I understand has something
to do with the technology.
I have this at my office as well as at home and my business partners'
homes. We've been fairly happy overall
but it ain't the cheapest solution.

Since the list has been quiet for a few days, I'll try and spark up a
discussion about internet service. I'm sure the discussion has
happened before, but a lot of things have probably changed in this
competitive market.
So what ISP do you go with?
I've had Charter cable, which was great for downloading, but crap for
uploading. I'm looking for a DSL service with at least 3.0 Mbps
download, and as much upload as possible. I'd also prefer not to have
a phone line be required (though this may not be possible for DSL
technology). Dynamic IP address is OK.
Any suggestions?
Has anyone had experience with the new AT&T (although it's probably
not much different from the SBC Yahoo! DSL).
