Glad you liked it Ron! I've got one other anecdote I can share...it was a tech call that we took on the recorded line while I was at the Kotter Group in Lilburn, GA back in 2002. It is in .wav format so will push it to .mp3 and post it so that ya'll can take a listen. Funny stuff....<BR>
<BR>
Many years ago (last time we lived in the ATL) we had Comcast. They were pretty consistent and fast and I actually preferred them to AT&T for speed and overall service. It's just that this time around we have all of the gear for AT&T and I don't want to invest anymore time or money in accommodating Comcast. Our network closet is cabled for AT&T and we already owned the equipment....<BR>
<BR>
That I remember, Comcast's customer service left a lot to be desired....but it's been a while and we have no desire or intention of feeding that "beast".<BR>
<BR>
As for AT&T...our promo rate for Internet only (Fast Access DSL) is $19.99 a month for 12-months after-which it bumps to around $40.00. With that we're getting (pretty consistently) about 6MB down and 512K up. On that we stream video from Netflix to our 40" Samsung have a couple of laptops and 5-6 other devices feeding off of the web plus a VOIP phone (Vonage). All of that stressing our connection and it just keeps working. <BR>
<BR>
For that we put up with AT&T....<BR>
