[TriLUG] Looking for ISP Options to a specific region

[Neil L. Little]

I got my DSL line with embarq separately (a-la-carte). At the time it 
was around $25 (before federal taxes). The service is attached to my 
existing twisted-pair number.

The service I have gives me 1.5m down (The last speed test did told me 
1.4m/382. I am less than 1 thousand feet from the switch, that is the 
cross-box/T-span that feeds my drop is right up the street.) The service 
is tiered and I see that the top tier is offering 10m down but that is 
not available where I am out in the boonies (they havent buried any 
fiber out here).

Embarq gives you complete access to the DSL modem and only have to reset 
it maybe once a week when the DHCP lease expires (Embarq side). You can 
opt for a static IP for a pretty reasonable fee (I think it was around 
$5 last time I looked).
