My SBC dsl was installed a year an a half ago and hass all most worked all the time. It started out reaal fast 1200 kb. Then after about 6 months droped to around 500-600 kb. I have tried all the tweeks and tests and nothing seams to improve it. I have called SBC many times and I realy dont think any one there really knows what there doing. SBC sent a teck to check the lines in our house and reported all is well.
Bottom line is I think I will change to cable now that it is in this area.
We ordered the 192-1500 kb serivice. Came with the Speed Stream 5360-123 modem. Installed with no problem with ppoe service.

I recently hooked up my DSL and I love it. I came from Comcast cable where my DL was about 2.1mbps. My DSL is about 1.3 but seems more stable. I love it so far.

No probs whatsoever with SBC, just signed new contract with Deluxe Service with 256K upload. Customer service very friendly when I wanted to sign new contract and go from old $59.95 monthly charge to a $36.95 charge.
A++++ all the way!!!!

[$14.95/month for 384-1500Kbps down/384Kbps up service]
My turn-on day was delayed 3 business days because my start-up kit arrived late. *But* SNET gave me my first month for free because of the delay (cool !). I also tried the SBC Yahoo! Installer knowing I could select just the Connection Manager to get the Enternet 300 PPPoE software installed. The installer had some problems so I just cancelled out from the installer and manually installed Enternet 3000 diectly off the CD. Shortly after getting on-line I installed a ZyXEL B-2000 wireless router so I ended up uninstalling the Enternet software anyway (PPPoE is in the router). I was on-line and surfing at good stable speeds in no-time. Great product. Highly recommended.
Now getting 1300/330

As a long time SBC user I am now in the hands of CenturyTel. And to be all fair they have been so for as reliable as my old provider since I have only been with them since this past May of 2006 which is not as long as I was with SBC. I was with them the day DSL was born. So time will tell with CenturyTel. To be all honest where I live now I am sure glad I have broadband even if it isn't my old reliable provider. As they say beggars can't be choosey. And I'll take what I can get as long as it works well.

"Cheating Contract by SBC YAHOO DSL"

provide Standard DSL(128kbps) instead of Deluxe (already slow system-256kbps?) DSL in which I signed up for. On trying to terminate the contract, they requested me to pay $200 termination fee, for something that the company cannot provide me with.
Currently the deluxe DSL which I am using now (256kbps) cannot even do a proper web conferencing, if you are going to change my plan to a Standard DSL, I will end up paying for something useless. So I have to sign up for Com Cast which is less than 1/2 the price of SBC DSL STANDARD. DSL contract is to vague to generalize all services to trick customers. I am so disappointed in the service.
