Pros: Great Price/Performance
Cons: More downtime than Cable Internet
Summary: I downloaded at a rock solid consistent 150 Kb/s. Actual download speeds vary according to how far from their DSL stations your are located. The farther out you are the farther from advertised speed you will be. There really is no way to know how fast ... read more

Pros: Super fast, I've had no trouble with it at all since setting it up.
Cons: The software.
Summary: I'm surprised so many people seem to dislike their SBC service. I've had it since September and have had no major problems with it since getting it - but I've also never called tech support. I ordered SBC Yahoo! DSL largely because of the price. I ... read more

Cons: Connection Manager (Get rid of it)
Summary: I haven't had any problems with my service since starting in August of last year. After my year was up this August, they sent out a letter saying that I could continue with them at a new faster, more expensive rate. After looking on line and seeing that ... read more

Cons: Consumer grade, poor pre-sales information on equipment.
Summary: I expected the worst My wife and I work from home and are on the Internet all day every day. So we'd never sign up for a low-rent service like SBC Yahoo! DSL, right? But when came time to set up my parents I went with SBC. And, much to my ... read more

Cons: Difficult to setup and get working, but it does work, and quite reliably.
Summary: Well, I can certainly understand the frustration some users are experiencing with their SBC/Yahoo installation. My experience, however, has been a quite pleasurable one, and at times only mildly inconveniencing when service was interrupted. First, I ... read more

Cons: none
Summary: If you are looking for computer dealies on this review, you are at the wrong review. I don't know nothing about rams, puter knowledge stuff or any of that tech stuff. I only know what I like or dislike about the service this review pertains to. ... read more

Pros: Down time is rare.
Cons: Can be addictive lol. :)
Summary: I have had sbc yahoo ever since directv dsl went out of business and I am very happy with it. Down time is rare. You can have several computers hooked up at the same time with no problem. One person said "SBC Yahoo does not let you use regular Yahoo mail" ... read more

Pros: Free modem after rebate and a cheap, fast DSL connection.
Cons: -The customer service was a waste of time
Summary: So I ordered my DSL service through Best Buy website after being recommended from a friend. (If you are going to get DSL from SBC, order it from Circuit City or Best Buy to get a gift card too) Basically, the deal was that the modem will be free ... read more

Pros: Cheap, fast, and gets a bad rap.
Cons: Up front costs, 1-year contract. Check sbc.yahoo.com for availability in your area.
Summary: I was surprised to see the degree of venom that people spat out at SBC. Sure, the company had hiccups, but it's not bad if you live in a major metropolitan area. I think maybe people don't write reviews of services as often when the services work, but ... read more

Pros: Speed is faster than dialup, continuous connectivity, half the price of most cable providers
Cons: Can be hard to setup for computer novices, may need to buy an ethernet card
Summary: I previously had free Earthlink dialup. After the trial ended, I didn’t see the justice in paying $25.99 a month for slow dial up. I was going to sign up for cable internet, but it was $56.99, and I actually never talked to anyone because I could never ... read more

Pros: Low Cost: $19.95/month w/ 12 month contract. For the price... surprisingly good service.
Cons: The SBC Software. DO NOT INSTALL.
Summary: I read most of the eopinions reviews for SBC DSL before signing up. And I must say, I was very discouraged. I decided against SBC for awhile because of it. But then SBC DSL in the Bay Area, California, dropped their price to $19.95. With prices that ... read more

Pros: Very fast. Easy set up.
Cons: Online order status page is not accurate.
Summary: I ordered SBC Yahoo DSL for my home on March 1st, 2005 only after calling the DSL center and asking how far I was from the wire center (thanks epinions users!). They reported that I was 5000 feet away, and that my speed should "blaze". I was told the ... read more
