RE: [cobalt-users] What would you do

We host on a RADSL line (1M X 1M). Our ISP is very supportive and has
provided us with unlimited amount of IP addresses. We were hosting on a 256K
SDSL line when we started but bandwidth became an issue but since we
upgraded it has not been an issue. We partnered with our ISP to resell there
DSL service. They pay us a monthly commission for the lines we sell and give
us great support. It also gives our customer more options and one place to
call for all of their online needs.

Wouldn't host on adsl.

First reason:  adsl is SLOWER upstream than down.

Second reason: adsl usually doesn't come with static IP

Third reason:  adsl usually comes with NO support foranything but
Windows.

Fourth reason: many companies supplying adsl won't even install if your
system is anything BUT Windows.

Fifth reason:  people supporting adsl usually have NO CLUE at all.

Sixth reason:  when adsl is down, it's absolutely LAST PRIORITY for
bringing back up.

(Sorry, don't have the time to get to ten <smile>.)
