[GLLUG] Question - Opinion on DSL

[Benjamin Cathey]

Okay - I've had DSL twice in my life (YEARS ago) and was thouroly dissasisfied with the speed.  The phone company blamed the the DSL provider and the DSL provider blamed the phone company and the wiring inside my house.

ANYWAY,  I got a flier in the mail the other day and we are going to change our phone service to a company called Cavalier (cavtel.com).  They have been around about 10 years but only 1 in MI.  Anyway, I was thinking of switching to their DSL service as well.  We are looking to save some money (just got a new job, etc) and the DSL + Phone (Unlimited Long Dist) is 49-59 dollars.  They say up to 15 Mbps, however, due to my distance, they said I should get between 5 and 10.  Mainly I am concerned with the speed (up and down for things like ekiga or skype).

I am looking for opinions on this if anyone has one or has heard of this company.

Thanks,
