David, I didn't go into any detail but I have ATT UVerse. 2 pairs
bonded and supposed 50Mb service, won't stay up for over a day. 1o
service calls, they now say I need to drop to 32Mb, but the tech
here this morning spotted a fault on "pair 2", which I've been
telling them for 2 months. When it goes out pair 1 will come back
fast with good noise margin, pair 2 struggles to get over a 0 db
noise margin. She finally figured there is a short, intermittent,
75 feet from my pedestal, and its not on my side, its theirs. So
outside wire crew coming to make some kind of connection up the
street. It is running right now on pair 1 just fine.
Right now my node is up and connected to W8VT in WV

AT&T Home (DSL), Dish Network or Wireless? Home(DSL) shouldn't have any restrictions other then it might be a bad network. That kind of problems do you see? Also ask AT&T if your using DSL where the central office is from you. 18,000 feet is the MAX... Ask for a tech to come out for a line test. Also it might be oversubscribed.I looked for a central office map for your area and couldn't find one.
Do you have an updated:DSL Modem (Check with AT&T first. Make and Model)Router
If you go with cable. Make sure the modem can handle the speeds you are buying. (I brought my own cable modem. I had to work with a list that my ISP has.) The up speed should be over 10Mb. The down should be higher..
Now food for thought.. You can get a cheap Internet service package from Spectrum for testing.. Ask for month to month. If you like it. Go for it.
