Yep. Rarely use it - oh, yes, forgot to mention - I have some amount of storage there and can set up my own web stuff there on their server as well. That's part of the reason for having the telnet/ssh access. The public/www (or whatever it was) directory that is your own web page if you know

Whichever you want to use. I use ssh, of course :-) (And I admit to being lazy and saying telnet when I am actually using ssh.) -Original Message- SSH is OK. Telnet is a self-destructing proposition. SSH or telnet? Hopefully SSH... ET

I'm pretty particular about outages, most instilled from business that there's a big different between 99.99 and 99.999 percent uptime on networks. Modems locking up classify as that, but physical signal issues are more often where those are directed, or upstream headend equipment failures

I have to think my experience is probably atypical or they'd be rioting in the streets. But, you asked I answer. :) We switched to Qwest about a year and a half ago when they ran new fiber through our neighborhood in Chandler. No TV, just data on a business account for static IP and all

I can't say I've had any experience with CL's fiber in particular. I can say that I'm favorably impressed with DSL service since CL took over. While they decided to start blocking port 25 on consumer accounts recently (6/27 to be specific), I recently converted to a static IP address and

I'm on CL DSL with a static IP, (Residential plan, in Mesa, East Valley). My plan is 5Mbps up and 40Mbps down (These are theoretical max's), in speed tests I would say it averages 2.3-4.3Mbps up and between 21-34 Mbps down. CL DSL claims 40Mbps as their max download bandwidth. I believe Cox

I saw such reviews online, but all seemed to be regarding when they ran as Qwest. I'm hoping to hear from a recent customer that knows if the new management/rebranding has improved anything. Putting aside the billing problems, how was the service itself? On 7/25/2012 6:31 PM, Stephen wrote:

Nice thing about DSL is you can pick your ISP. We used FastQ when we lived in Mesa, it was good. Didn't have the peak speeds Cox did but it was much more consistent and reliable. And, we had static IP's and could run home servers, unlike cocks. Your results may vary, but should be good
