DSL available where I live

Guess what guys I just found out I can now get DSL.

Only problem is I have a few things to think about now though.

1) extra for static IP
2)a bit slower
3)have to inform everyone of a e-mail change

these and the reliability with dsl is far greater and no cap.

I hate my cable

How often do they say that the IP will change? If its once every few months it might be worth not paying for the static and just updating the DNS whenever they swap IP's on you.

I'd say that if your cable hasnt been reliable then go for the swap. The hassle of switching would be well worth the rewards.

I highly recomend switching to DSL, the world of no cap is a glorius one indeed.

When I had it, it was every login, or refresh. It was allways different. With DSL you would have to pay for the SIP. Who is your provider Thumperup?

On my router, I set the "maximum idle time before connection is dropped" to 24 hours (max allowed was 25.4 hours, 24 was simpler) so as long as something on my network accesses the internet within a day, I keep the same IP. I say try with a dynamic IP, and if it becomes a hassle, then switch. Also Execulink doesn't officially support routers, but they will help you with them.

Well with a web server and all them game server, that should not be a problem eh? :lol:

hasn't been a problem for me yet with just a web server. And if I'm not home for a day or more, I just access my own server, and voila. Plus I have 2 internet savvy housemates, so that helps too

Who says Execulink is going to help you with your router? we're pretty lazy, i can tell you that...

(Yeah, I'm back there for the summer)

considering someone did help me when I called, I'd say that I said they'll help you.
