High Speed Internet for the House
So what are you kids using for high speed Internet at home?
We are tired of out dial up and want to get more modern technology in the house.

Charter High-Speed cable. We've probably had it for about three years now. For the first year or so it was down a lot while they were "upgrading the network" in our area, but since then it has been reliable and relatively trouble free.

Dang cable in our area went thru the roof so I got a dish on the house and removed the cable two years ago....

I'm probably going to get hammered for this, but I have SBC DSL service. I'm kinda in a fringe area, but I still get 1.3Mb down an a couple hundred K up. And right now it's very attractively priced at $19.99/month.

Verizon DSL
Not from me!! We have SBC DSL here at my world headquarters and it has worked great!
BTW. looks like the $19.95 deal requires you to have a certain level of service with SBC, which I don’t have/want but it’s still cheaper than the cable modem option in my area. ($26.95/month)
Not available in my area...
Keep them coming!
We have SBC DSL, but my mom works for AISD and gets a discount from SBC on whatever services we use. It was down here and there for the first couple months we've had it, but I think that was mostly due to my computer. I haven't had anything to complain about the service/speed, I'm getting the same connection as Dave04. We'll see how fast it is when we have 7 computers hooked up to the network after Christmas though

I'm the weirdo.... I've got a high speed wireless signal beamed to a little antannea on my chimney from outbackwireless.com
I'm WAY out in BFE and didn't have any other options at the time... Cost $10> DSL
Runs a pretty consistent 1-1.5MBps down, and a whoping 1Mbps upload. not too bad...

Yeah, you guys are lucky...I live so far out, nothing is available except dial-up, and it is verrrrrrry slow...
I hear Verizon is making it's way in this direction, beginning in Keller. I live about 8 miles due west of Keller/Wautaga.

I, too, am in BFE (maybe we're neighbors) and am still looking for the hi-speed connection. Maybe this 'outback' thing is the answer.
joe.Miata Can you give us a linkie to outback??? Is it tied to some other service (dish TV or such)?I, too, am in BFE (maybe we're neighbors) and am still looking for the hi-speed connection. Maybe this 'outback' thing is the answer.
I am in no way affiliated with outback nor will I receive any material reward from this post.

Well I went ahead and ordered SBC DSL for home! I appreciate everyone’s input!
Verizon is putting in it's FIOS system starting in Keller.. It's all fiber and rediculously fast.. (I should know... we designed all the hardware
but you're over in Haslet, I'd bet you can catch the same signal I can.
My friend has it at his shop at 287 and 4029, just outside of that circle on the map.
I'm so frustrated with Comcast right now I can't even see straight.
Go online.
Request assistance.
Get a boilerplate email saying "These are the ways you can fix your problem"
Wait a few days to see if the problem goes away.
Go back online.
Get boilerplate with a way to contact them "directly".
Go online to chat with an agent.
Get disconnected 3 times. Duh, bad service.
Bozos make an appointment.
Bozos call my cell during the scheduled time.
Cellphone service doesn't put the call thru.
Bozos cancel the service call because I didn't answer.
Get back to online chat. Get disconnected twice.
Call voice line to reschedule.
Service tech says it was a loose connection outside. I call BS.
Service tech says he'll put it in for a line check from the line staff.
Service ticket gets CLOSED instead of forwarded.
Bozos will return on Monday to give me more BS.
For those of you with network experience, I have a 35% "request time out" rate when I ping their first switch. Yup, more than a third of my net commands are going in the toilet. Try downloading streaming video with a 35% packet loss.
Reboot the modem to get a fresh IP, and the modem searches and reboots half a dozen times before it finds a connection "good enough" for a 35% failure rate.
Comcast service sucks.
