Yeah, service level agreements, that's what I meant.
I just assume the last mile would go up quick but backbone access to the
Internet was the high cost item after all it the loop is cheap, gateway
costs.
Comcast still has a $100/mo business connection AFAIK.

I can remember all the talk about the upcoming DSL service how it was
impossible to give these speeds for the crazy price of $100/mo.
Granted there is

think, problem found, so they'll do something to bring the quality up.
Well it didn't go quite that way. 1st he tells me I have to replace my

As much as I loathe Verizon as a company, my DSL has been pretty much
solid for the past four years. There were only two outages since I've
owned my modem, and both were resolved in about a day.
Sure, it might be a bit slower than cable, but cable is just too damn
unreliable. As a former

Well I have COX on a state of the art fiber optic system. There is a fiber
optic line on the pole 20 feet from where I am sitting. I have never had a
real problem. Yeah it has gone down at midnight a handful of times in the
five years I have had it, presumably during maintenance, but all in
OK, Cox is good. Comcast, whom Warpmedia has, sucks.
At least here in New Jersey were we both live.

You are just having some bad luck. Trust me, I am in the same Regional
Area Network (RAN) as you are. :)
They upgraded the code on their routers, and hopefully it should be okay

Well I've only had a few problems in 3 years at the location, mostly of
the time it's just them doing maintenance the modem comes back up in a
1/2 hour. This may just be more of that and if their people would just
all give the same answer life would be much easier.
From my experience combined

My guess is that if NJ Verizon is that high, that would explain
Comcast's upgrade. As it is I pay about $40/mo for the same level of

Hard to believe in '99 we were paying $1000/mo or so for a T1 lines
gateway service.

That's the drawback to my DSL. My upload is horrible. But since I don't
do much P2P (I do most of my downloads on Verizon's EXCELLENT news
server) I don't mind the sub-par upload.
The best part is, speeds are only going to get better. :)
