What is this bologna?? I think it is still better than BellSouth.Net's Service though. What are the operating speeds? I get 1.5 mbps down and 256k up currently. And finally, will it work in East New Orleans? Let me know. I'm interested in this service...

I have been using Telocity (Direct-TV) on several installations over the last three years with very few problems. All of my installations include a Linux machine as gateway for network (one with over 70 users), and the speeds are very good. I keep all the original boxes in case I have to return the equipment. Installing the equipment is a breeze, and it is even easier to install under Linux. I like the idea of having an IP address as some of my customers use the Linux machine as FTP servers, very convenient. As far as hacking goes, I remember only one instance when we had Telnet going for a test and somebody else dropped an egg on it.
