I must agree on PacBell, but a nice ball park. And when the margin call comes next week on the "good stocks," WSTL gets puked big time...

Leroyt,
Re.: SBC DSL update:
In summary, my opinion is that SBC options via PacBell in California sucks! I wish I could be more positive.
Options:
1. $39.95 for dynamic IP address with PacBell's proprietary software to link up and supply IP address.
2. $59.59 for 5 static IP addresses.
NOTE: There is NO cheap option for ONE static IP address! Why NOT!


Your experience is shared by many in the Pac Bell/SBC service area. People are frustrated with the loss of DSL connection using the dynamic IP address.

SBC's dynamic IP approach is similar to cable modem. As more customers log on, the cable gets congested. With SBC, their equipment is not able to generate dynamic IP's as more customers join.

If CSCO lowers their DSL price to 50 or 60, SBC will lose customers quickly, I think. jmo. Ram
