Re: debian-friendly DSL/cable ISP in NYC area?



Hi,  Here is an ex-ATT@HOME customer who was moved to new ATTBI.COM
service in Northern California.  New terms of service states additional
"no-Server" policy.  Yuck !!.  (I never signed it but sent to me when
change happened.  So it is legally not binding.)

Cable is easy, I agree.  But your statement on fixed IP is not correct
as I observe it.

HOME.COM -> ATTBI.COM change actually affected IP address given by DHCP
but it has been the same IP since day 1 of ATTBI.COM service.  So
situation is almost same as before. 

I have third level domain pointing to that machine and reachable by ssh.


Cheers :)
