modem - In article ,mehl@cyvest.com (L Mehl) writes... Can readers share their experience with AT&T or SBC? These are the only 2 providers I know of that offer DSL in Menlo Park, where I live. If there are others, please let me know. Thanks for any input.Personally I recommend the better and more responsive localISPs, rather than the national companies, in almost allcases.Not all local ISPs are good, but most national companies, evenif their technical service is OK, tend to treat individualusers as the grain-of-sand they really are to them. SBC inparticular is a company I avoid like the plague.Examples of good local ISPs that can do DSL in that area:www.rawbandwidth.comwww.lmi.netwww.sonic.netSome other local ISPs which might be OK but which Ihave less personal experience with:www.silcon.comwww.garlic.comwww.bayarea.netwww.fastmetrics.comwww.ionix.net--* If you listen to cockpit voice recorders from fly-by-wire aircraft that ** are about to crash, then what you tend to hear is the same sort of things ** that people say to their PCs.
