Gotta agree. @Home is exactly what its name is...at home internet access. Its not there for you to set up a usenet group or a porn server, you can actually do that cheaper with a decent web hosting company. I've actually enjoyed my @home for many years. I haven't done any recent download rate analysis and come to think of it, that's probably good, means I haven't noticed and change in download rates. I do think the price is getting close to my upper limit especially when they raise the rates 15% any more of those and I will probably go bye bye. My @Home network has been pretty stable over the years, and in the last year I have probably only experience 1 outage during a time when I wanted to use my machine. Tech Support...well, the first level tech support is horrible...people reading from a script or something. Once you finally talk to the 2nd level they are very helpful. Some really long waits, but in over three years of having @home I have probably only had to call tech support 5 or less times. Now, my DSL experience is all 2nd hand, but I have not heard very many good words. A friend cancelled his and the signed up for some really good deal. They promised hime installation within 10 days...he got it over a month later. Sounds a lot like the post office. Why do I sit here and post random messages to a random board that nobody will read????????
