I got them when I moved to chicago. Hated them at first because they kept screwing up my new account and it delayed me getting online, but now that I'm up I haven't had any problems with losing my connection, it's always been up.

how does the speed compare to cable? is it about the same?

I had cable before and this dsl seems about the same to me.

I use it out here in SD and it has been working just fine. I had cable for a bit, but it would sow down during peak use hours like after 5pm. Never really had any troubles with DSL around that time. Only thing I hate is DSL support. Operators can't figure out shit. I can hear them looking over some text book on a standard problem. Takes a bit to get to someone who knows what he is doing!

Works great in Ohio.

DSL and cable are so far apart hardware wise that DSL is the better option usually. Cable gets too many people hooked up to a repeater and it can just about go to a crawl.

They got a new deal 6meg down and 660k up for $99 a month, but you have to call and ask for Level2 support to get the deal... but that's pretty sweet!
