I used the former Bellsouth DSL service for years and loved it. My parents are still using it and have no problems with it. Just wish they had better speeds here as 6m is as fast as it gets here.

We've tried IE and Firefox and the weird thing is, IE may work on pc just fine with flash, the one next to it may not but it would work with Firefox. Really strange to say the l...

Well i did see a setting in the modem for dhcp (not real sure what it said now) and tried disabling that hoping the router would take over as i figured that 2 of them trying to handle dhcp may be causing a problem, but it didnt seem to help anything. I swear i think i tried changing every setting on...
