So, I'm using 256kbit DSL through Qworst and I really feel a need for speed - does anyone with cable modem have a preference between Road Runner or Earthlink? I think they're both 3Mbit down. (They didn't say what the upload is - anyone know offhand?) I'm in Uptown MPLS, so thankfully I don't have to endure Comcast. Along with the faster net access, I'll be dropping my home phone, so Huzzah! Soon I get to celebrate my liberation from Qwest and their crappy-ass web payment page. (Stupid thing always thinks I typed the wrong password.) Also, does the service give you a public IP? I don't care if it's static or dynamic, as long as I can access it from outside. Finally, can you use your own cable modem with the service? I prefer a standalone bridging modem so I can use my choice of router/access point. Thanks for the tips, Nick --- http://USFamily.Net/dialup.html - $8.25/mo! -- http://www.usfamily.net/dsl.html - $19.99/mo! ---
