Helping you find the best deal for SBC DSL Internet Service

It goes without saying that having fast and reliable Internet access at home is important in today's world. However, some locations cannot get DSL or cable Internet service. For cable, it is simply because the carrier or vendors are not currently servicing the area, and who knows when or even IF they plan to. For DSL, it may be a distance limitation, where the farther away your home is from the signal distribution point, the less likely that you can get a reliable signal, which means slower speeds if you can get service at all. You don't want to go with or stay with a dial-up connection unless that is really your ONLY option, since today's Internet and web pages simply do not lend themselves to the very slow (by comparison) speeds of DSL or cable. As far as a satellite Internet connection, let's just say that I have yet to meet even ONE satellite user who is happy with this option.

When you are looking for a new car, do you only shop at ONE car dealership? If you are shopping for a new computer, do you only consider ONE brand? Of course not, and for the same reasons, you need to shop amongst DSL and cable providers to find the one that offers the best value at the best price for your location. The problem is that you probably don't even know what all your options are for DSL or cable Internet access for your home. That's where we come in -- we represent more than a dozen of the nation's top residential DSL and cable Internet carriers. At our site, after you enter your information like address and phone number, you are presented with a list of WHO can offer WHAT for your location at what PRICE. You can get details of each offering, see what promotions and specials each carrier might be having, and place your order online, 24 x 7. It just doesn't get easier than that!

A word about privacy: we take customer privacy extremely seriously in today's online world. Rest assured that your information is not stored on our computers for any longer than it takes to talk to the different carrier's computers to find out what services can be offered for your location. You will NOT get phone calls, you will not get spam email, and you won't get a mailbox filled with junk mail. At least, you won't as a result of entering your information here. This is important to note, because putting in an inaccurate address or phone number is not going to allow the system to display accurate information about what is available for your location.

Our Expert Opinion on SBC DSL Internet Service, Other Options

The first thing you need to realize is that there is NOT ONE COMPANY that makes all customers happy all the time. But keep in mind that this is the way things are with almost anything -- you will not find 100% happy campers with every Chevy on the market, with every Dell on the market, with every Maytag on the market, etc. Our recommendations below are based on a combination of personal experience and user reviews. It is not designed to be an official guide; rather, just our experience personally as well as getting comments and critiques from a variety of customers across the nation.

While residential SBC DSL is certainly a viable option in many areas and the price may be extremely attractive, tech support has been as spotty as other providers. Reports indicate that the customer service representatives follow a "trouble shooting script", and the same script MUST be followed whether the customer is a computer consultant (and knows more than they do) or a true newbie. More reports indicate that while service has been generally good, it seems to take a very long time to resolve system problems when they (inevitably) occur. Most users comment that the speed is very good, although it is not nearly as much as the advertised speeds.

Reviews of other residential DSL Service options to consider are shown below.

		LaunchNet offers residential and business DSL nationwide, and they offer it at speeds that blow many of the others away. Depending on location, speeds offered are up to 6 MB down and 768K up. Note that most others offer only 384K on the "up" side, and sometimes even less. LaunchNet also offers "naked DSL" in some areas, meaning that you do not need to have a telephone line installed in order to get it! Standard packages include 10 email address, virus and spam filtering, and an unprecedented 30 day money back guarantee.

		Both service and quality are not strangers to Comcast cable Internet. Customers report that Comcast will try to make something right if there is a problem, and will frequently go above and beyond the call of duty to do so. Customer service will help a user with problems, even if the problem is not a Comcast issue. You can get to your Comcast email from any computer in the world that has a high-speed Internet connection. Since Comcast is high-speed cable, you are not required to have a phone line in your house. Better deals are frequently available if you also subscribe to their cable TV service. Definitely worth considering. Click here to check for Comcast and other carrier availability in your area and order service.
		Earthlink has been a dial-up ISP for years, and with your Earthlink high-speed service, they also give you about 20 hours of dial-up access at no additional charge, which you can use when you are away from home. Earthlink techs, while sometimes it may take awhile to reach them, are very knowledgeable and very thorough, walking you through various trouble-shooting steps by the hand. In certain areas, Earthlink has teamed with Brighthouse to provide their service, and the Brighthouse techs are not nearly as good as Earthlink. Still, if you get Earthlink service in a Brighthouse area, you can always get to Earthlink support. Speeds are good and uptime is also as good as any other provider. They frequently run specials for a very low cost for the first few months, converting to a reasonable cost later. Should be considered.
