I am comitted to getting this issue resolved with the current DSL provider, however we are looking at some alternative options to make sure that long term outages like this don't occur in the future. I am sorry for the inconveinence. Hopefully it won't happen again but I am doing what I can to learn from it.

Well, as I said, I didn't know what a commercial cable account might cost...I was guessing (hoping) that it might only cost $10 or $15 more per month (our consumer connection costs $34.95 per month).

Guess we'll keep out fingers crossed.

GD, that is cheap! AT&T wanted $55.00 per month including modem rental. Now they Comcast wants $45.00 a month, but you have to be a customer of there digital cable service to get that deal.

I wish those liberal trial lawyers would stop suing the fast food industry and turn their collective cash cow generating skills toward Cable and satellite internet providers and drive the subscription price down to a reasonable rate.

But the cost is high because there are not enough IP addresses to go around. The average lease on an IP address was 1 hour. That caused a bunch of problems because every hour you would have to reboot or do a command promot ip config to reconnect.
