<div><br></div>I used DSLExtreme after AT&T for a while until my kids
started college and complained about the slow speeds at home so I went the
cable route until the the promo expired then went with a different
provider. Otherwise I was happy with DSLExtreme as well.<br><br>Does
anyone know if the AT&T 2-wire 2701HG-B modem with wireless will work with
DSLExtreme? I seem to recall having a modem from them but I'm not
finding it so I'm guessing I might have returned it. They are offering a
free modem but not sure if it has wireless and they would charge for
shipping. Again, my mother-in-law doesn't need the latest modem as she's
replacing a dial-up configuration.<br><br>So it turns out my wife already
ordered, don't know if they'll accept the referral but I asked her to give
them a call.<br><br>Claude<br><br><br>

<div>I've had dslextreme for decades. The few times I've called tech
support were the most pleasant tech support experiences I've had. My
original reason for choosing them ages ago was that they had the most
friendly contact available--a refund option if I didn't get at least half
the nominal speed, and there wasn't a hidden data cap. They explicitly
said I could run a public server for all they cared, as long as they didn't
detect an open mail relay.</div>

<div>Looking to get the lowest price internet connection for
my<br>mother-in-law in Monrovia. She doesn't need speed, just needs
to<br>replace a dialup connection that is being discontinued at the end
of<br>the month.<br><br>Best price so far is DSLExtreme. My wife will be
ordering something<br>tomorrow so I'm checking to see if any of the old DSL
modems I found<br>in the cabinet still work and was thinking I should see if
anyone here<br>on the mailing list wanted a referral. Send me your account
name and<br>I'll see if I can get it accepted.<br><br>Also let me know if
you want to get rid of a compatible DSLExtreme<br>modem in case the ones I
have don't work
anymore.<br><br>thanks,<br>Claude<br></div></div></blockquote><br></blockquote></div>
