Reliable DSL?Concentric (now known as XO) is my second DSL provider, and until February 2001 I was incredibly happy with them. I decided to switch over to Concentric, and have not regretted the decision until now. The price per month went up about $40, but it was well worth it. I can't say enough good things about this service. I was kept completely informed every step of the way. I received regular emails detailing the progress of my order. The installation was done by a professional, and was complete in under 15 minutes! The connection speed of Concentric DSL makes Telocity look like a 56K dial up. I have 4 fixed IP addresses, that I can use at my will. Unfortunately an ugly turn of events. XO has dropped out of the ADSL business. They can however offer quality SDSL service at much higher rates. Since I can barely justify $89.00 a month, I am going to have to find a new provider. The only good news is that since I have a contract they have to honor my current service until it ends. I have started the search, and think I may try Speakeasy.net. The installation and equipment is pretty expensive, but since XO and Speakeasy use the same DSL modem I'm going save more than half. As events unfold with a new provider, I will update this page. |
