Pacific Bell Pacbell ADSL

Pros: Reliable high speed transmission rates.
Cons: Upload speeds set to 128kbps.

I have been using Pacific Bell’s ADSL service for almost a year now. When I had originally heard about it I was concerned about the specifications on the data transmission rates. For basic ADSL service were up to 1.5mbps download and 128kbps upload....

Pros: Great price, good bandwidth
Cons: sometimes out

It is well known that DSL is relatively fast, sometimes flaky but improving, and a very good value at $39. The service has improved over time, and the speed is pretty consistent. Here are some less obvious things to think about with Pacific Bell DSL...

Pros: Very fast connections
Cons: No longer offering Static ISP addresses, untrained install techs.

I read the accounts of the incompetent installers in Pogomom's review of RoadRunner Cable Modems & couldn't help but notice the similarity of the inept installers!

Pros: downstream bandwith
Cons: outages, price

When I lived in San Diego, I had cable modem through the @home network.
1998 I moved to Santa Cruz county where it was not available. This summer I got Pacbell ADSL.

Here my experiences:

In 15 months of using cable modem, I had...

Pros: High Speed, Good Price, Reliable
Cons: Tech Support and E-Mail

I was watching TV one day and saw a commercial for PacBell DSL. It said it only costs $39 a month for speeds up to 1.5Mbps download and 128Kbps upload, free modem and installation. I can't get cable internet in my area (yet) so I called PacBell...
...

Pros: Great pricing (limited offer), painless installation, love that broadband speed!
Cons: No printed documentation

As if I wasn’t spending enough time on the Internet already. (Just ask my Beau how often he has to compete against the computer for my attention!)

Well, at least now with DSL, I’ll be able to read my Epinions and talk to Beau on...

Pros: Lightning Fast, Unblocking Voice Communications, Reasonable
Cons: Installation and Customer Relations

When PacBell had a special a few months ago, I jumped onto the bandwagon. Free installation? Free equipment? When one considered the increase from $21.95 to $39.95, it was a “washout” with the cost of maintaining a second telephone line. Since, with DSL,...

Pros: very fast
Cons: AWFUL customer support- the WORST!!!

We signed up for PAcbell ADSL service as soon as we moved into our new house. The previous owner had DSL already installed so the process was actually relatively painless and even, yes, very quick. We called Pacbell and had DSL installed in 10 days (it...

Pros: Massive Speed, Cheap Price, Always On
Cons: Outages, Cosmically Unhelpful Tech Support

When I first heard of ADSL, it seemed too good to be true - for around $50 a month you got a persistent connection to the 'Net at warp speed. Sign me up! (Note: there seems to be an inverse correlation between the speed of your Internet access, and...

Pros: speed,helpful personell
Cons: expensive

I unfortunately do not have Pac Bell any more. I have recently moved from Los Angeles to San Diego where I now use a Cable modem. I had Pac Bell dsl for a little over a year and I was very pleased with it. I went from ISDN to Pac Bell DSL and difference...

Pros: Really fast!
Cons: No customer support whatsoever.

In January I called PACBELL to ask some questions about their DSL service. It took several telephone calls and several hours waiting on hold before I even got to talk to a live person. Finally after a representative answered my call, I expected to have...

Pros: Fast connection, easy setup
Cons: Price still a little high, on-line signup doesn't cover all the options

I had been suffering along with a dialup ISP (ATTGlobal.slow.suck) with miserable connect speeds (most recently about 26k), constant connection issues and more than frequent e-mail glitches (some lasting days). On top of that, I have some friends with...

Pros: Fast/reliable connection.
Cons: Everything else.

So..your looking into getting PacBell DSL. Well, read on and you'll know what to expect. I can't really say don't go with them, because if you want a high-speed connection, there is usually only one choice in any particular area. If PacBell is your...

Pros: One it's up it's quite fast and reliable
Cons: Dumb Staff, bad followup, frustration

I have had Pac Bell's ADSL service for about one year and I am definitely closer to being institutionalized and likely to be found rocking back and forth in a corner after the experience.

I mostly work from home and thus a fast reliable link...

Pros: Great Download Speed
Cons: Dynamic IP Is a Pain; Capped Upload Speed

About a month and a half ago, I was lured in by Pacific Bell's seemingly wonderful deal of $40 per month with free installation and set-up. Pac Bell's commercials were great and Pac Bell seemed like a much more reputable company than Flashcom, with whom...
