Ameritech SpeedPath ADSL: I almost got to "fly"

by juliette , May 01 '00
Pros: Everyone I spoke to was pleasant
Cons: Some serious communication problems
Ordinarily I wouldn't write an opinion about a single bad experience, but since several people I know have had the exact same bad experience, I am going to break my own rule.

I am online 9 hours a day at work and 3 hours each night at...

Ameritech From An Ex-Employee

by kymbadlee , Jan 04 '03
Pros: none
Cons: everything
Whenever I write a review of something that already has been reviewed 30 times, I usually try to explain what new angle I am adding. I decided to write about Ameritech for a few reasons:

1. The service is so unbelieveable unrealiable I'm...

SPEEDpath

by Chewy3 , May 22 '00
Pros: Free modem, installation, FAST
Cons: installation took very long, bad consumer service
Many people have had a bad experience with Ameritech's Speedpath768 but I seemed to have gotten lucky.

I was sick and tired of the laging of my dialup and wanted to move up in the world. I found all the broadband services in my area and this...

Pros: Great service and great price
Cons: Below average customer service
*** Scroll to bottom for update 05-31-04 *** A little over a year ago I became fed up with a dial up connection. I started looking for a high speed connection and noticed that my telephone company (Ameritech) was offering DSL. I talked with some ...

Let's Play Monopoly!

Pros: I didn't have as much trouble with them as some people...
Cons: Have you ever tried to find a job without a phone?
Note: I attempted to get Ameritech DSL, but it is not available in my area yet, despite the fact that it is one of the fastest growing areas in the country. This is about the trouble I went through just to get my phone turned on. I decided to post...

DDL (Digital Disservice Line)

by ellochka , Jun 10 '02
Pros: Good speed when it's on
Cons: It's off... and they can't fix it
I am a tough customer -- a graduate degree in MIS and a few friends at Microsoft have done their dark business. I also understand that technology does not often happen the way it's supposed to -- but often does not imply weeks. And I believe that...

Sweet Nightmares

by nad_masters Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Apr 07 '02
Pros: Fast, and it's DSL, nonetheless.
Cons: PPPoE, and outages on first day of use.
DSL and varients has been around for little over a year now. I once had DSL service with Flashcom, and with Northpoint going south (out of business), I had to look for another provider.

For those who don't know, Northpoint was the actual DSL...

Decent Product, Horrible Service

by johnturner313 , Aug 20 '00
Pros: good bandwidth and throughput when the line works
Cons: horrible, horrible service, extremely unreliable connection
Our Ameritech DSL line was installed in May. The installation experience was average (I've been through a couple hundred telecom installations) and the installation timeline was reasonable.

Since May, the DSL line has gone out several times,...

The Server Has Dropped The Connection, AGAIN!

by Tori42 , May 02 '01
Pros: Better than the 56k
Cons: Too little time to list them all
Not having a credit card gave me only one option for getting DSL - Ameritech - because it is convenient to have it on the phone bill. But I'll tell you, I am at the point of having them come get this piece of junk I am paying an arm and a leg for!

Cons: poor tech support, HORRIBLE, aweful, bad, stupid bad horrible software, spyware, adware
I am a DSL veteran. I have had Flashcom before they went out of buisness, and I have PACBELL DSL installed back home in L.A. So, I was prepared for the worst when I desided to get DSL in my Chicago apartment.

The price - $29 and no...

Service is Absolutely Horrible

by Karen60194 , Sep 07 '00
Pros: none I can think of
Cons: incompetent installation and service
I normally do not write reviews of companies. However, Ameritech is so grossly incompetent at managing this service offering that I feel a duty to warn others before they choose this DSL provider.

The installation process was a nightmare....

The Worst Service You'll Ever Get

by Reimy , Dec 04 '00
Pros: The modem didn't physically EXPLODE!
Cons: Where do I START?
I subscribed to Ameritech DSL about a year ago, with little knowledge about how DSL works other than the fact that the speed was fast and I would not have to tie up my phone line anymore while online.

I feel like a pro now, after a year's...
