[OKDXA] DSL SERVICE

Tue, 26 Nov 2002 11:46:27 -0600

Hi Jerry - I remember checking up on ISDN once a couple of years ago out
here, but the monthly cost was higher than what I'm currently paying for
2-way satellite, and they still wanted me to buy a $300 modem, so I guess
I'm glad I didn't get it. However, on the plus side, those with an official
tariff-regulated Telco service like ISDN, T-1, or Fractional T-1 get very
high priority and fast response on trouble calls. The same certainly can't
be said for an "optional" non-tariff service like DSL or satellite
broadband, where a day or two repair delay is not unusual at all, and
sometimes it can be much longer if things are backed up. I suppose in the
long run we get what we pay for (we hope).
73, Jerry W5KP

> Jerry - W5KP.  Good info on the satellite service.  Being just outside
Claremore's cable and DSL service range I've been using ISDN for a couple of
years.  Fast enough and reasonably realiable.

good.  I've also been trying to get a vision of you  with high speed
fluttering eyelids.  Keeps the dust off 'em I imagine.
