Check out www.dslreports.com they can hook you up with others in the area. I use Qworst but I can look out the window at the CO. Phonix dsl, Covad ( I have heard horror stories), telocity are all names I have heard co-workers using. But are any of them really any better than the others? The only choice I am very glad I made was to have VISI host my DSL, real human support, they let you know of planned outages and have been very helpfull.

I moved to a different apartment within the same building and they are claiming that there is too much noise on my line now (whatever) and refuse to continue to give me service even though I've been paying them $100/month (which they dont seem to care about) for over 2 years (do the math). I live in Eden Prairie, does anyone know what other services are available in my area? Im not too concerned with bandwidth as much as i am being able to lease a static subnet and have DNS deletgated to my servers. If anyone out there had any info, please let me know!!! And if I ever get rich and/or start my own busniess or even have any influence on phone/ISP services (like at my current company where we pay Qworst millions) I will do all I can to NOT give them any business. I hate them with a passion. I've dealt with them for the past 2 and half years and their service has been horrible when I've had to make any changes. They're also feeding me DSL tech crap for excuses that I know are lies. Arrrggghhhh!!! Its almost the year 2001 and stupid companies cant figure this stuff out? Does any one know if RoadRunner will lease me at least 8 static IP's for a cable modem service? Or any other ISP service out there?
