DSL is similar to dial-up and sometimes when there is to many people on (peak times usually evenings) the servers can't support the load and fail. Most ISPs will probably make you still pay for it but some may work a deal with you if you talk to them.\n\nGetting rude with them isn't necessary!

if you have dial up and there are other things available (DSL, Cable, etc) you would be a fool not to get it..the difference is just amazing....equate the cost to the other essential utilities of the home (water, gas, food)...I mean, this is ESSENTIAL!....dial up is foolish

You need to call AT&T and ask; right now we are rolling out FTTN {Fiber to the Node} with the intention to use it to proved all of your communication needs.  I believe that is what you are referring to, but I am not at work, so I cannot look it up {they call it a number of different things in different places because of all of our recent mergers}.  If it is, you will be one lucky sap bro, they are going in hot in heavy to buy the market from the competition, the prices will rise in the future of course, but they are intending to provide your TV, Phone and Internet connection for about $80, it will be a steel, get in on it if you can.  You will not be able to beat the speed or quality of this connection, when you get it.\n\nThe reason why I believe it is that is because there has been no announcement of change the DSL title to High Speed and I think they would want that known company wide, they are trying to get everyone on the same page as fast as they can.\n\nJohn B.

if you are using dial up, it is not very optimal, there is a lag in the recieving, you need broadband to enjoy it

DSL is not available at your location it appears.  However, you do qualify for high-speed cable which is faster than DSL most of the times anyways.  No one can tell you when DSL will be available.\n\nThe cable prices start at promotional prices of $29.95 per month for six months for speeds of 5 MBPS.  The site I used to qualify you also offers a $50 additional mail-in rebate.\n\nhttp://dsl.metrot1.com

I would imagine that your ISP is the problem here. They probably have twice the people on your node that they had when you signed on. Find another provider or get rid of that worthless crap and go with cheap DSL. Hate to be a name dropper here but Verizon has some pretty good DSL for 20 bucks a month!

Most likely, you're on the very edge of the DSL service area, too far from the phone company's local DSL base station to get good speeds.  I'm guessing that you've called the DSL company about the problem aready.  If DSL coverage isn't good in your neighborhood, try your Cable TV company, they probably sell high speed, and it'll have less distance limits.

You're pretty much limited to whatever cable companies provide service to your area.\n\nFor example: Time Warner Cable might have a great package deal, but if you're not in their area, you're out of luck.

If you can get cable, get it.  I had a sat ISP (DirecTV) for 1 year.  It was cheaper than DSL, but slower - sat@768kbps, DSL@1.5mbps (Qwest).  That was 2 years ago.  And in bad weather I'd loose my signal.  That means no internet AND no TV.  I'm sure that they offer faster speeds now.  I now have service through Comcast, 8mbps.\n\nIf you can't get cable, get DSL.

Cable right now is better than DSL in terms of speed and reliability.  If you want even faster speeds, go with the new Verizon FiOS...

It did that to me for awhile too...I was downloading from people that weren't the same connection as me. You have to download from cable or dsl users if you have cable or dsl...Who knew?Lol.

Yes, but I can't afford it.
