[GRLUG] Fwd: Broadband prices - selection

[Alan]

We pay about $85-$90 for Cable & Internet thru Charter.
I am mostly happy with their low end service.
My only complaint is that I do not have, or can not find, a dial up number 
thru Charter to use with my PDA.
I'd  looked into SBC DSL but you'd need a land line to add it to and we don't 
do land lines.

All, I have not heard much on the list recently.  I was just interested in
 what everyone is paying for broadband.  I just switched from Comcast (~$45)
 per month over to AT&T DSL for $18 per month. And  3 months free  with proof
 of switching over from a cable modem connection.

So far I have noticed a lower latency and about 2.5 Mbpsdown and 450kps up. 
 The upload speed is dramatically better with dsl.  I use a vpn connection
 back to my home for backup / email / and file sharing and the difference is
 amazing.

I was very skeptical of DSL, after hearing some horror stories.   However I
 have not dropped a VOIP call or lost service in the last week.

What has been your experiences with Broadband?
