DSL
I try to stay positive, but it’s times like these when I don’t have an internet connection that I get ticked off.
I got home last night and found out that our landline and DSL connection were down. No dialtone, no connection - nothing. So, I called technical support to see if there were any network [...]
I upgraded my SBC Yahoo DSL connection to AT&T Yahoo! High Speed Internet Pro Package. I’ve been paying over $40 because I didn’t renew my contract, but I finally did 2 1/2 weeks ago. Today, it finally took effect - sweet! $17.99 for 1.5-3.0Mbps DL and 384-512Kbps UL speeds feels much better.
The SBC technician just fixed the phone line. He said the line broke, so he switched me to another line. A speed test from Broadband Reports gave me 1277 kbps / 321 kbps. I believe that was basically a 35-hour turnaround. Not bad, I guess. I hope it’d be different if I was a business. [...]
I just tested my cell phone speed using Verizon’s 3G Extended Network connection. (I think that’s what it’s called.) It has a theoretical speed of 115.2 Kbps. Using CNET’s bandwidth meter, it clocked me at 109.8 Kbps. Pretty cool! Still, I miss my DSL line. When I wake up, hopefully the technician will be out [...]
My phone line isn’t working right now. I called SBC customer support, and they said they’d need to send a technician to check it out. The nearest appointment is for Thursday. So, if it doesn’t come back up by then, I’ll have to stay home that morning to wait for the person. By the way, [...]
I was at a friend’s house for most of the afternoon yesterday, mainly chillin’ and testing out his brand new Philips DVD player (with Divx support).
I sometimes forget to check out other blogs for a week or so, and I’m glad to have stumbled upon this bit of news.
Basically, AOL is forcing customers to find another broadband service here in the United States. It hasn’t been all over, just in a few states. But it will happen all over the [...]
The problem’s fixed! It was a line problem, more specifically messed up wiring in the laundry room (in our apartment complex) that comes from their DSL office - or something like that. I guess it only affected me, but then again, I didn’t hear any of my neighbors saying anything. The technician was nice, especially [...]
My DSL line has been acting up as of late. The past six days, it’s been down for lengthy periods of time. I could only get on for 30 minutes at a time. 30 minutes up, 1 hour down - it’s pretty erratic.
My phone line has static, so SBC is going to send a [...]
Update: I was down again this morning from 10:30am to 11:30am.
I haven’t been able to get online basically for the last three evenings due to problems on their end. They’ve been so good until now! Perhaps they’re making up for “non-downtime” for all the years I’ve been with them essentially trouble-free…
Here’s a little [...]
