by drew99_mi , Aug 15 '01

Pros: Fast & reliable DSL
Cons: You don't get much with the cost
In January 02 I ordered DSL from Ameritech and they sent me a USB modem. The sales rep neglected to ask, what type of connection do you prefer - USB or ethernet, and sent the USB connection. I installed the modem and two softwares which was fairly...

Good, Fast, Cheap, Hard to Get

by rogerab , Oct 03 '00
Pros: Good Installation People
Cons: Takes a while to Receive
Despite what other people have written and told me about Ameritech's DSL installation, I think Ameritech is a fairly good service. I do not have many gripes with them at all. Maybe, this is only the case with me, or there just are not enough people...

Many people have had a bad experience with Ameritech's Speedpath768 but I seemed to have gotten lucky.

Natural birth pains ...

by Raydal , Mar 14 '00
Pros: Beats 56K any day..
Cons: Troublesome start.
