I'm in my third week of testing Adelphia.
So far, there have been no problems and the speed has been consistently around 1400/245. YMMV. I have satellite tv, so I signed up for Internet only. Out of curiosity, I connected the cable to my tv card and found that it is also supplying basic cable programming. If cable continues to perform well over the next few weeks I'll drop DSL and go with it.

They are.

Sounds rather a dodgy company to be involved with, IMHO. -- Statler: "Why do we need a VCR you can program seven years in advance?"

I've been with Adelphia for a few years. I find their technicians are
helpful, and I have no complaints with their service. When Adelphia thought my speed wasn't up to par, they decided to run completely new lines to my home. Although they say they do not support home networks, they will assist you.

They wouldn't be my first choice. Or even my hundredth. For some reason I rather like receiving the e-mail I'm supposed to be getting, and Adelphia is in quite a few blocklists. "I've heard that they might be trying to clean up, but too much spam for too long has placed them in a lot of private blocklists - and cleaning up probably isn't going to help much there." -- "... by God I *KNOW* what this network is for, and you can't have it." -- Russ Allbery, 3/31/98 |

I've had Power Link for 2.5 years now, and except for a 6 month period a year and a half ago, it's been very reliable. Speeds are consistently 2.5 to 3.0 Mbps down, 245 Kbps up (max 3.0 Mbps/256 Kbps). |
