Guest h23it Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Insight sucks. I had nothing but problems with them when I lived in Columbus. Wow treated us great and it was half the price and twice the connection. Don't go DSL unless its a significan't price differenct. I worked as a DSL technician for a while, its horrible service, just not perfected yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuruma Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Insight has been pretty good to me, rarely out, unless all of the cable, including digital phone is out. The speed is good too, and I've gotten up to 3mbit. Douche bags keep *raising* the price for no reason though, and it's getting ridiculous. WOW is supposed to be pretty good too. Don't get DSL, it's usually a nightmare, but at least if your able to post here, you are a step ahead of the customers I talk to at work... though since 90% of their problems are self inflicted (putting filters on wrong, ignoring the instructions, going to porn sites with IE, downloading Kazaa) I wanna tell them all: http://www.edge-inc.net/images/humor/you-suck-internet.gif It might just be that they're the main problem with DSL, not the service.

Alex1647545498 Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 SBC DSL is fast enough for what I use the internet for. I pay $40/month with phone included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuruma Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 I'd say most people who can figure out a forum are way ahead of the average tech support caller that expects their ISP to patch their crappy OS against all sorts of virii, because it's "just so hard!" to take care of their computer. I'd hate to see what these people do to their cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractor Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 I run DSL and have been for almost a year and its connected 24x7 and have never went offline, my SBC email has never been offline and the connection speed is always from 1.2Mbits to 1.7Mbits using DSLreports.com as the test service. I live in Westerville. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFKINPowerz Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 I hate em all. If I did not need RoadRunner then I would tell em all to go to hell. Insight is so exspensive so I figured I would give WOW a try. This was last summer. They show up and the tech has no idea how to get stuff working so after about 2 hours of him in my attic the fucker falls through my ceiling. They did pay to fix it but I just asked the guy to leave and told him that I would keep Insight. They cut my cable that was already in my yard to run a new one and it still has not been burried.

iwishiwascool Posted September 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Im getting satelite digital TV, so there wont be any promo packages... I might just go with DSL. I was skeptical of it at fist, but my GF has it and its quite dependable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1647545498 Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 I have basic phone service because I have a cell phone so my monthly cost is pretty low. I'm sure if you get caller ID and other features in there then it won't be $40/month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest charlie Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 I have just Road Runner for $35 / month (no cable TV). In Cincinnati I have been using road runner for at least 4 years and I can count the times it has been out on one hand. I have been very impressed by the service and would recommend it to anyone. Last spring in Columbus I had DSL, forget which company, and it was out more times in the first month than my road runner had been in the past 4 years. On top of that, it was slow. -Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 I had Road Runner w/ Insight. When that wasn't going down, my Digital cable was. The drop was new, as was all the cable they ran. When I had my WOW installed, only thing different was the drop (illegal to use another companies drop). Magically, I never had a single problem. This was all before I worked for WOW. Working for WOW, I get it free, of course, and my house is wired.....let's just say far beyond the extent most homes are wired (quad shield RG-11 drop feeding quad RG11 into my distribution setup, with home run quad RG6 to every outlet, w/ an amp feeding the TV outlets). I've been told time and time again (pretty much daily) that we are just overall cheaper than the competiton when all is said and done. Yes, Insight and Time Warner love to offer intro-offers, 3 months at a great rate, and all that jive. We don't mess with that crap; you get a straight forward, flat rate. Honestly, I don't even consider Insight that much of a competiton to us. I've had an Insight employee coment to me on how much business they have lost to us. Time Warner is definately our main competitior. I'd like to add that WOW was rated the #1 cable company in the US by JD Power and Associates this year (though we only cover Cols, Cleveland, and parts of Michigan/Indiana). That beats out all the big names (Warner, Comcast, etc.) as well as all the little names. A large amount of improvements have been done in the last 2 years to get us there. I used to do DSL tech support. Doing that was enough to know I'll never want DSL. Dishes are nice (for television at least), but I used to have that as well, and the pic pausing every time a plane flew by, and not having TV every time there was a storm got annoying quickly (and the dish was aimed properly and got a great signal reading in good weather).
