Moving to DSL
Am switching to DSL and hope I can stay in this newsgroup. Verizon says it
has "some" newsgroups but I did pick this group out of over 1,000. I've loved being in this group. Barb Of course I don't look busy, I did it right the first time. |

I've loved being in this group. i've been on verizon dsl, they do carry this group in their repretoire seeing that this group is a true usenet group and not a google group i think verizon news server is news.verizon.net and you would of course use your same username and password with their news servers. when I first got adelphia, it was fast when it was working, but adelphia (cable) was a choppy experience. frustrating i switched to verizon dsl.. it never went out.. and was extremely fast adelphia sent me an offer I couldnt refuse, i switched back to adelphia now Adelphia is always on. however! I really like verizon too verizon is laying fiber optics in my area soon, "internet at the speed of light" at that time, I will be able to transport myself to and fro and up and down in the earth wweeeeeeeeeeee |

Moving to DSL
Thanks for the info. Well, hooking up is not as easy as I thought. I
didn't have an "Ethernet". Verizon on-line tech support is useless. They sent me to Radio Shack where I was sold an incorrect part. I returned it and went to Best Buys where was sold the correct part but when I got it home I realized it was for the wrong computer. Returned it and got the correct item. It's actually a card which has to be installed inside my computer. I don't go inside computers but have the Geek Squad lined up. They call today or tomorrow and make an appointment. I'm glad to learn I can continue in this newsgroup. -- Barb Of course I don't look busy, I did it right the first time. |

"Barb" wrote in message erio.net... Thanks for the info. Well, hooking up is not as easy as I thought. I didn't have an "Ethernet". Verizon on-line tech support is useless. Can't you do cable Internet? When I moved to cable, Time Warner did everything for me. The guy came to the house and installed everything at no charge. AND you can call them any time and you get excellent help, even if it is just that your connection is slow, they get right on it and there is a guy at your house or outside climbing a pole and taking care of business! At $40 a month it was not only CHEAPER than paying for a phone line ($27) and a dialup account ($20) plus ten times faster. I went for DSL first and they just jerked me around for months before finally telling me I was too far away from the source to even have it. And I am in Raleigh, NC. If you can, ditch DSL and get cable, you will love it if your local company is as good as mine! |

Nothing beats a Cat 5 100-Base-T network connection over that familiar blue, yellow, white or other colored cable. true, but then again, it really could be as simple as plugging it in and popping the cd in. mine did very well.. with no problems, no flickers, no drops, etc... but another time in a previous life.. I had massive problems with dsl and usb (that was prior to the new 2.0? usb driver) |
