I never heard of Sudden Link (suddenly up, suddenly down?! )

My DSL is through Verizon. They've never let me down thus far... knock on wood.

Right now I'm looking at Verizon VoiceWing. If they can provide 911 service, I'm good to go. If not, then I'll be looking at Packet 8 and a bunch of others.

I have a cell phone, with Verizon as well, and it's about $50.00 a month, even with a discount, and I don't use that much either. I have Bluetooth in the car (came with the Nissan Versa ) but I don't like to talk and drive. I don't think it's very safe. So, I pay for the cell, don't use it much, my parents refuse to call me on it, and yet, I only ever use it for emergencies really. Sigh.... Not sure why I have it at this point. Should just get a prepaid phone, but I think I have another 1 1/2 yrs left on this plan Gotta love those "plans" and the "early termination fees".

Satellite TV seems to go down with every storm that comes through the area however. Watch out for that one Catty! I liked cable better for stability.

After 3 years of dial up, I finally got DSL. What a difference!! My daughter has the "bundle" package from the cable company. She's happy with it and is always trying to get me to switch. I don't have a home phone, per se. My landline is for my computer alone. I use my cellphone for everything. So it wouldn't be worth it for me to change.

Good luck Candace.

I can't stand DSL, however. My parents have it, and it seems like even the smallest factors affect your speed and uptime. Weather, how far away from the place you are, if you're uphill or downhill.... if its too hot or too cold, if its raining or humid... their internet surges up and down so wildly, it never completely will go out, but latency will go from 60ms to over 2000ms in a matter of seconds. Its not just them, but pretty much any DSL in any state I've been in, lol.

BUT, compared to dial-up...... its lightning fast! So I'm not complaining, but I do prefer my cable
