GTE DSL

Pros: speed baby! always connected!
Cons: setup difficult, price

~=~ Update 11/11/01 ~=~

I've had GTE, now Verizon, DSL service for many moons now. I love having DSL. When I travel and have to dial up, I realize how addicted I am to my "always-on" home connection. My service hasn't been down for...

Pros: Frees Up Your Telephone, Does Not Bump You Off.
Cons: Does not reach advertised speeds.

Two months ago, I got rid of AOL. It was time to move on to something better. I was tired of getting bumped off-line in the middle of writing an Epinion! I checked the website "2wire.com" and found that GTE was offering DSL service in my...

Pros: Extraordinary Speed
Cons: Frequent stoppages in service

I've had GTE DSL for about a month now and my experiences have been mostly positive with a few negatives. I had decided to make the changeover to DSL from my regular dialup after having had great service with GTE for over three years. I almost never had...

Pros: The ADSL itself is WONDERFUL
Cons: The customer service STINKS!

A few months back, I wrote a review on my GTE ADSL that I had installed for my internet connection. I couldn't be happier with the line itself or the connection I get. I have had no problems with it at all, up until a few weeks back.

I...

Pros: Gave advertised speed, easy configuration
Cons: Customer service, problems of re-installation after moving

I originally got our DSL service installed in our apartment in Dallas, TX. I chose the self-installation. I just plugged in the DSL modem to the phone jack, ethernet cable to my computer, and that was it!

Luckily my PC was already setup to...

Pros: faster internet connection than a regular modem
Cons: had some kinks at first-not the best customer service

After years of having a very slow internet connection I knew I wanted something fast. A friend of mine in another state had been using GTE and was quite happy with them.

On November 1, 1998 I called GTE to inquire about their service. I was...

Pros: FAST, FAST, FAST
Cons: More expensive than standard internet access

As a long-time subscriber to AOL, I have endured the endless wait for pages to download, the frustrating WAOL error messages that kick you offline, and the depressingly frequent times I am unable to even access the internet, due to some "technical...

Pros: Fast connection at affordable rates
Cons: First few weeks saw 2 hour downtimes, billing errors, daily stalling connections

I'm online 80+ hours a week. 56K just doesn't cut it, especially if you are a web developer and an MP3/movie junkie like me (over 600 and counting). When I moved into my current home, I had already decided that I was getting high speed access, my only...

Pros: constant connection, not bogged down by heavy traffic
Cons: none that I can think of

Before we had the DSL line put in, we were members of AOL. After setting up an account with GTE and getting the continuous connections, I have to say that I will NEVER go back to dial up services.

With GTE you have several options to choose...

Pros: Way faster internet connection
Cons: have to live within a certain distance of the signal

I use GTE's DSL service. Three words: I love it! I don't know how I survived without it all these years. It does come with some cost but not much more than what some people are paying having a modem and two phone lines? We use to pay $37 for just the...

Pros: Great speeds at a comparatively reasonable price. Always on access. No slowdown.
Cons: Verizon should have stayed away, Unprepared for demand.

I first got DSL 2 years ago...When GTE still was heading it here in my area. Since that time though I LONG for GTE back.

Let me tell you what happened.

When I first called to get DSL everything went smoother than a baby's...

Pros: High Speed, Great Service, WAY better than dial-up
Cons: Price could be lower

I have had DSL service from GTE Internet, now Verizon Online, for a full year now. The installation went well. The installer was on time, courteous, and took less than 45 minutes to complete the install. Since I already had a network interface card...

Pros: High quality, fast connection
Cons: Painful Bureaucracy

persevere! Like many others, my initial experience with GTE was not pleasant.

I initially called a number that I gleaned from a promotion. I informed the operator that I would be interested in the service, and she subsequently told me that...

Pros: great speed, consistent connections,
Cons: lack of setup support

ADSL

I have now had ADSL internet access at my home for over a month, and it was a very worth while investment!

There are several great aspects about the service. First, the connection is always “live”. Our family uses the net...

Pros: Fast, always on Internet experience
Cons: Took a long time to install, billing mistakes, poor customer service.

I ordered my DSL service December last year and they finally made it work just last month. However, they've started billing me two months ago. And up to now they haven't fixed my billing issues in spite of several calls. The biggest headache with this...
