SBC Yahoo

Cons: Difficult to setup and get working, but it does work, and quite reliably.

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 ...

Pros: Super fast, I've had no trouble with it at all since setting it up.
Cons: The software.

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 ...

Pros: Inexpensive, good equipment, 24 hour support, charges appear on your regular phone bill.
Cons: Consumer grade, poor pre-sales information on equipment.

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 ...

Pros: Fast, Friendly, Affordable!
Cons: Connection Manager (Get rid of it)

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 ...

Pros: Down time is rare.
Cons: Can be addictive lol. :)

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" ...

Pros: Quick and easy to get connected via DSL, friendly office folks.
Cons: none

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. ...

Pros: Great Price/Performance
Cons: More downtime than Cable Internet

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 ...

Pros: Consistent fast speed.
Cons: You waive a lot of legal rights by accepting their Terms of Service.

When I first signed up for this service I was ecstatic. I heard all of the hype and was taken in hook, line and sinker. I'll try to hit as many of the points as possible, as well as note why I don’t believe you can get as good of a deal as you did...

Pros: Cheap, fast constant speed for normal use, reliable connection.
Cons: Hardware installation can be difficult, need more thorough instructions.

Wow, I didn't realize so many people gave bad reviews of SBC Yahoo DSL. Contrary to their experiences, I have had little problem, except for the initial set-up, which I will tell about later. For $26.95 with 1-year contract, the 1.5Mbps ...

Pros: Low Cost: $19.95/month w/ 12 month contract. For the price... surprisingly good service.
Cons: The SBC Software. DO NOT INSTALL.

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 ...

Pros: Great speeds, yahoo portal
Cons: Technical support, smallish personal web space

Since I moved from New England, where I had comcast cable internet, to Ohio, I was searching for a high-speed internet company that was reliable. I looked into the local cable companies (Insight and WOW), but thought the price was too high. Then I looked ...

Pros: Very fast. Easy set up.
Cons: Online order status page is not accurate.

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 ...

Pros: Easy to set-up and lots of local numbers.
Cons: Some of the staff members lack basic knowledge.

I am a former CompuServe user. First the price is better if you have SBC as your phone company ...

Pros: Fast internet access, easy setup guide, inexpensive.
Cons: Some problems may occur during connecting, but nothing major.

I purchased my SBC Yahoo DSL in May of this year (2003), and I’m pleased to say that it’s up and run ...

Pros: Fast, reliable, works as advertised, all necessary equipment included at little to no cost.
Cons: Clunky, buggy, disjointed software.

Intro - I guess I’m a relative newcomer to the internet. Sure, I’ve been around for a few years now but I’ve only been online since sometime in 2000. Like many people, when I bought my first computer, the internet connection ...
