Qwest/MSN. For the past five evenings, my internet has been dead from about 5 'till 10-12 sometime. It's extremely irritating. They're doing "maintenance", which really means "being cheapasses and not having adequate resources to handle all their customers, and saying intercourse you to random ones who they don't feel like giving service".
The worst part is that I live in a strange area that for various reasons can't get internet besides through the phone lines (i.e., no cable or satellite, although satellite sucks anyway), so I'm stuck on poopty Qwest/MSN DSL eternally. :robotsad:
I have NetZero dial-up. It sucks ass. No DSL services in my area.
So frustrating.
My DSL would just lose its connection randomly at any given point in the day, mutiple times daily, sometimes, even before it would connect again.
My DSL works just fine.
I've got Optimum Online...it's quite reliable but since we have Optimum Voice too, if my mom's on the phone the Internet slows down :P
or maybe that's because the phone is wireless and I'm on a laptop...or a combination of the two. Whatever.

Not like your laptop is using all of the 54mbps speed anyway, the phone calls wouldn't use that much either...
I have Qwest DSL. Works perfectly fine.

Digital Subscriber lines are slow.
I've got SBC Yahoo! DSL...it's alright, but it could be faster.
No service outages, though.

no, it's quite fast when the phone is not in use.
Hm, that's odd, I use Qwest/MSN too and I haven't experienced any of those problems. ::)
Though, my service isn't as fast as I'd like it to be, I get like 1.3 Mbps download and like 300 Kbps for uploads. >_>
i have broadband/cable internet, the only problem is that whenever my mom uses the wireless phone i lose the connection completely on my laptop, but i figured out that it does that because the wireless phone and the router run of the exact same channel, so when my mom uses the phone, it somehow blocks the router out or something. :(

buy a whole new phone, mom won't do it. buy a whole new router, mom defiantly won't do it. change the channel of the phone/router, wont work, both only run in a 2.4 GHz range. oh, and it also messes up the wi-fi on my wii. :(

i hate it worse when it happens to the wifi on my wii, i could be in the middle of a MSC match, and my mom will use the phone then it will lag really bad then lose the connection. :(

No one offers 100mbps at 70 dollars, that's the Ethernet speed you dumbass.
