________________________________________________
In the area where I live in Pennsylvania, The Pittsburg area( I live outside the city.) All we have is Comcast Their price is $45.00
per month. We also have Verizon DSL at $ 34.99 ( which includes MSN 8.5 browser a $10.00 value included for free)
I use Verizon and have had no problem with it. Their speed is approx. 1.5Mbs. I had Comcast which ran a little bit faster. At times at night, when there were a lot of people on my Node, the service ran real slow. As for as Verizon I pay only $29.95 per month, because I have a bubdled package with my phone service and save $5.00 more bucks.:mellow

I rate my company a 9 out of 10.
Price is great [only 35] a month.
Service is unbelieavable, Only once in about 6 months for an hour we get no connection because of upgrades.
Company is called COX [ :]
I have their high speed internet acess aka cable
And the most important and happiest part of it is that my speed is 3.6 mb download but much worse upload 200 kb/s

But for 35 a month I think its a hell of a deal and Im enjoying every last minute of it for now.

Hey,
I have cox too. I need to check on the speed (3.6mb). I dont think i am getting that high speed or may be there are whole lot of people with cable modem in my neighborhood.

as far as price goes, it used to be 34.99 now its 39.99. wait till u get ur next bill and u will find out.

i would rate it 8 out of 10

That is cool that you can get it for that price. Comcast charges $90.00 for what you are only paying $35.00

All I can tell you that Attbi AT&T was bought out by Comcast.
Attbi and Comcast service sucks as well as their customer
service. Comcast also took over ATT&T Cable, Phone Service
and High Speed Internet. Some of their customer service reps should be shot ( They Are So Rude) At one time when it was ATTBI Internet if you owned your own cable modem is that you saved ten dollars and your rate was $35.00 Just before Comcast took over the discount went from $10.00 down to $3.00. Because I am in an Appartment Complex I have to use Comcast for Cable. All their Services SUCK ASS

The reason I mentioned where I lived was to show what the Cable Internet Service charged in our area. I am interested how much other Services charge in other area's of the country

Understood! I just thought it was cool to see someone from Pittsburgh on ZP, seeing as I am originally from there. GO STEELERS

well since we're on the subject does anyone know of another broad band provider in the chicago land area? other than comcast preferably

**hawkburn** · June 18th, 2003, 11:38 AM

How do you rate your cable or Dsl high speed internet service?

10 out of 10

Is the price reasonable?

It is normal compared to any other company in the area

How is the quality of service

Never breaks off, always on, and I do mean ALWAYS

Which sevice do you have, DSL OR CABLE?

DSL (ADSL) all that is available, i could get cable, but being in dallas would make it REALLY slow at peak times

The name of the company?

SBC, actually when I got it it was Southwestern Bell DSL, but then its SBC, and now its SBC Yahoo! DSL, But i dont use the yahoo accesories.

What speed do you get?

Currently 1.5Mbit downlink, 128Kbit uplink, upgrading to 256Kbit uplink for no extra cost, they just have upgraded since I got it where now 256 is the max, I have the max speeds.

Optimum online in New York is very good and also at a good price. (29.99 + Tax).

**Siskabush** · June 18th, 2003, 01:17 PM

I got Shaw high speed right now. (Canadian)

Anyway, its only 45$/month.
It never cuts out (But my damn router does sometimes)
I get 10Mbps.
Very fast (Dl'ed at 650k/s once :D One of my friends hit 1.5 Megs/sec)'
Service upgrades are few and far in between.

I would have to rate it 9 outta 10, Isnt that great on a router.
