Recommended DSL providers in southern California + hardware |
|
|
I wanted to ask which ISP providers in southern California offer the
best service - no downtime or any other trouble. And for a reasonable
price.
Second question is the hardware.
I know you have to have a DSL modem.
However, are the DSL modem proprietary to the company?
Can I go to Best Buy or Fry's and buy a DSL modem or a router with
built in modem and use it with any service provider? Or do the hardware
the ISP ships for you is locked into him?
Also, I will be using VoIP. I will be using the Sipura 2000 ATA (Analog
Telephone Adapter). Any issues with different ISP providers? I don't
recall which one but Vonage or Packet8 do *NOT* work with AOL. But then
again, I don't know which ATA they use. |

The best net connectivity will be from DSL Extreme. 6 megs for $62.16
a month, no contract and you will be just 6-8ms from all the backbone
carriers, or they have cheaper deals for less speed.

Not particularly. DSL Extreme will loan you one for free, other
than the cost to ship it to you as I recall.

Don't know. DSL Extreme does not block any ports that would affect
this, nor do they do NAT, so I'd expect it'd work.
