Anyone know anything about Bellsouth (ATT) DSL service?

Just moved way out in the sticks and teh able company doesn't run that far.  Thank god the phone company does have DSL out there or I'd be stuck on dial-up.

Just a suggestion, look into satellite service in your area as well you might be able to save a few pennies.  Good Luck senor

DSL would certainly be better for AH than Satellite.

I know a little bit about DSL. What exactly do you want to know?

I had bellsouth DSL for a few years when I lived on an island with no cable internet and it was fine for internet gaming.( About 3 years ago ) At the time I thought it was fantastic. Much better than satellite for sure as last I heard satellite had slow upload speeds.

The main problem with  satellite isn't so much the speed: Rember most games including AH2 doesn't use that much bandwidth, it's the all about the latency to HTC network. And with  satellite since it goes from groud dish to  satellite that is +140 miles up (aprox) then another +140 back down just to get to the main network to route like a normal ISP would from there then all the way back again to get back to you.

Bellsouth started out as part of AT&T, IIRC. ;)
