BellSouth has been advertising ADSL in New Orleans like crazy. So I imagine their # of subscribers is climbing rapidly. I hadn't check my speeds regularly until there was an "outage" two Friday nights ago. Since then the speeds have usually been about 500kbps; once they were 900 kbps. Prior to the outage they were routinely 1.2 mbps. I had to get an ADSL line because the dial up service from BellSouth and even a competitor I tried, AT&T WorldNet, were useless. Prior to April, my dial up service was flawless. Complaints to BellSouth and AT&T WorldNet were futile. So I don't know what's going on. All I know is that the internet better get a **** sight more reliable before I would rely on thin client software from some central server.
