My business has been using Bell's ADSL service now for about 1 1/2 years. During that time, the service has not been reliable with the connection dropping constantly.
The problem is more common during the summer months when the temperatures reach 30° or above, but it is not limited to just that reason. Basically it is poor syncronization with the C.O.
I am told the reason I am not syncing, is because of my distance to the C.O. - 5.6km away!!! Why would Bell sell me a service saying it is available in my area when this is clearly not the case?
I am constantly on the phone reporting the troubles, and instead of receiving 3 MB service, they have bumped me down to 750k to maintain some type of stability.
I am looking for an alternative solution, but cable isn't available in my area, and a T1 connection is far too expensive for the amount of users on the network (9).
So the call goes out to the ehMac community: does anyone know of a viable alternative solution to my curent ADSL woes that can offer me with a static IP and is connected 24/7?
