i use RR and am satisfied with the service. recently, ive had pleasant experiences with the billing dept (aside from the sending them money thing) but learned quickly to not call their tech support. if you have Qs about network status, ask them *specifically* what you want to know. but even then, its not always right. some blips and whatnot (even if they do last an hour) go by unnoticed or unreported by their systems.
never used DSL back to RR, outages are infrequent but annoying. and my roomie and i have had beef lately because of weird latency problems. ill sit and play urban terror for 15 minutes with >500 ping (thank God for client side verification or whatever its called) waiting for it to drop back to normal, which is easily <100 and sometimes <50 speeds are good. 200KB/s and up isnt uncommon from fast hosts. this makes kernel downloads go quickly (yes im too lazy to upgrade from old source...) they do block ports 80 and 21 (might be wrong about the latter...). this can be something of a nuisance. i just use other ports you dont get static ips, but http://www.dyndns.org is a good solution to this problem. i dont think my ip has actually changed in a month or more ...i suppose that is all. RR is rather painless and reasonable priced. learn to trouble shoot your own problems tho. cable modems arent too difficult to work, just unplug them for 10s to reset them -- this fixes many problems daniel _______________________________________________ Siglinux mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.utacm.org/mailman/listinfo/siglinux
