I am using Charter cable and right now am experiencing an e-mail problem with them which I hope to resolve soon.
My limited experience with SBC dsl was that I got a call from SBC offering me dsl and being assured that it was available to me at my address, so I signed up for it, received the package and installed the software, waited the 10 days prescribed for it to become activated(?) and found that it didn't work. Upon calling the support people I found that I must be a minimum of 4000' from an access point, I was about 6 miles so when we moved here to the coast I opted for the cable internet.
