Cincinnati Bell Zoomtown

Pros: An overall good company
Cons: There are better ones out there...

You may have read reviews on the various companies listed here but you have to understand that a person's experience with DSL is specific to that person's region. This is because there are different companies involved in getting a DSL to work and their...

Pros: Fast, easy, reliable
Cons: Cincinnati Bell coordination of internal services

2/2004: I still like Zoomtown. I've experienced very few problems. But when I need support, it's just not there. But I've found literally no one in the industry who does a great job with post-sale customer support. It's such a shame. The FIRST ...

Pros: Fast access, didn't have to change ISP's
Cons: Insecure, bad service, poor support for alternative OS's

It is a running joke in my company... UNIX geek of the corporate help desk, the high scorer on the A+ exam, conqueror of new software was told to have her husband, a shoe salesman, call back to a tech support center when he gets home from work because he...

Pros: Faster than dial-up service, more reliable than Roadrunner, keeps the phone line free
Cons: Expensive!!! Some Network Issues.

My husband and I switched from Roadrunner service to Zoomtown after having some bad experiences with Roadrunner overloading and slowing down.

I guess I should also mention that my husband is a Network Engineer and I am a Web Developer, so we...

Pros: Incredible speed, easy to use, inexpensive
Cons: None

When Zoomtown ADSL service became available in my area, with a fabulous charter membership offer, I jumped on it. I had recently bought a new computer and was enjoying my new 56K modem, and that was nice, but ADSL promised much more. My husband was...

Pros: fast, efficient, reliable
Cons: occasionally lose link to router

I have Zoomtown, and the Cisco 675 router, and it's really fast. It connects almost twenty times fast as a 56k modem. Only if you have good wiring to your house. If you don't, then your speeds won't be as fast, but you can just do some calling and pay a...

Pros: Relatively Cheap, Fast, and Phone Line always free (convenient).
Cons: only available in certain areas (Cincinnati only)

Zoomtown and the Cisco 675 router is the best I've seen yet, on my computer and any of my friends all across town. I've heard complaints about it not reaching to some areas around Cincinnati, but I haven't had any trouble with it at all.

Pros: Speed
Cons: Service

I must admit...
Zoomtown has been EXCELLENT for me...
Back in the day of 56k...when people still thought the internet was useless...I could never imagine speed like this!!
I must admit it spoiled me...But it definately rocks!!
...

Pros: Fast and afforadable
Cons: limited availability

With the recent introduction of DSL into the internet world, Cincinnati Bell has started a project called Zoomtown. Zoomtown is an ADSL internet connection that offers more than just speed, it offers moderate prices with three different packages to...

Pros: Does not require dedicated phone line
Cons: Inadequate infrastructure & support

If you are currently using a 56k dial-up Internet account, think twice before "jumping ship" for ZoomTown... the ZT boat may be sinking!

I have been a ZT (ZoomTown) subscriber for 1-1/2 years, and during that time I have enjoyed...

Pros: Great prices and great service.
Cons: Minor problems with connectivity a couple times.

If you live in the Cincinnati area or are in the Cincinnati Bell area and are looking for good ADSL service, choose Zoomtown. I have been using it for about a month or so now and cannot complain. They offer TurboSpeed consisting of: 768kbps...

Pros: fast access, easy setup and install
Cons: useless customer service, phoneline network problems, incompatibility

I've used Zoomtown in the home for the last few years, with fair results. The overall connection speed and reliability is very nice, and has greatly improved since the creation of the service, but there are still several issues that might make a...

Pros: Faster than dial-up
Cons: It all around sucks. Speed is not great and you have to log on every time you restart your computer

Well I cant say that I own Zooomtown because after experiencing it once, I knew I shouldn't waste my money. Zoomtown manages to erase all the great benefits of having an always on connection. You have to log into Zoomtown every time you want to use the...

Pros: Speed Speed, Cost, convenience
Cons: Traveling means going back to a modem

You manage to get logged on to the Microsoft site and you see that Windows 98 SE is available by download or by CD. The CD is a reasonable option because the download looks massive. Megabyte upon megabyte.
The CD costs, the download is free.
...

Pros: Fast access, Inexpensive
Cons: 1 Year Commitment, Tech Limitations

Zoomtown from Cincinnati Bell is a great service. High speed internet access (768k base) on your existing phone line for approximately $40 a month. Not bad at all. The only problems I have found with the system are in its quirks. There are many small...
