RE: [PLUG] Has anyone used Cavalier Telephone?
|
I have Verizon DSL at home, and they do block port 80 - which just makes
an annoyance that I have to run my webserver on 81.

I used them for almost a year. It's $50 plus taxes plus etc. etc. which
ends up around $70 per month, for some sorry speeds (About 64KB/s down
in my experience, and something miserable up). On the other hand, I run
my own web server and have a static IP address (that was the reason I
got them). I plan to choke on my laziness and try to set up dynamic DNS
for the first time so I can try Verizon DHCP (assuming they don't block
port 80). All in all, I don't think Cavtel's base offer was all that
hot since I wasn't using the phone service at all (I have a cel phone).
What was the Speakeasy dry-line price? It might be worth it since one
wouldn't have to pay all the taxes and "fees" for an unused phone line.
