My oninion of SBC DSL. |
|
|
Over the last few days I have been posting several questions about SBC
DSL. By the nature of these questions, I would seem to be saying that
I hold the service in low regards. I just want to stop and be fair
now. No matter who my ISP would be I would seem to be saying
negative things, because that is the nature of problems. I now give
what I believe to be a fair and balanced view of my experiences with
SBC.
Basically SBC seems to setup their services so that the technical
idiot can use it. They also try to prevent these people from showing
how technically idiotic they can be, by putting masking tape around
the hood. Having dealt with such before I can understand why they
do this. ( "You mean that's not a cup holder?" )
Those who have gone through it before are not going to have much
trouble with SBC, but they should make sure to ask questions ( like
which modem they send ).
The people who can handle technically tough stuff, but know very
little about DSL are the people who will have the most problems.
Unfortunately several of their salespeople are a bit confused. So
learn what you are doing.
If I were starting over would I go with SBC? Well, I would first
read up on things, and asked questions here. A few years ago I used to
glance over dslreports hoping broadband would fall to where I
can afford it. Unfortunately they completely reformated it and
I found the new version confusing. If so my experience would have
been a lot less painful. So I would say I probably would go with SBC.
Thanks all for your help. |
