Re: [TCLUG:19294] DSL/Cable service

[Jason J <jasonj@innominatus.com>]

I have a 768k/768k dsl pipe from onvoy with a Flowpoint Managable Router. I am
happy with the connection. I am not happy with the customer service. They tried
to charge me $763 my second month of service. That included all the installation
fees and modem fees again, which were waived in the first place cuz of their
special DEAL. After talking with 3 rep's the bill was finally only $8, which of
course is good!

I like onvoy. They let you run whatever services you want, they entered a
reverse dns entry for a buddy of mine's domain (which i have yet to do).

The main thing I like is playing Quake III at about 30 ping on average. And when
I play with my friend at the U of M Morris campus its usually 20 becuase they
use mr.net.
