Sprint Broad Band

[Ken Bowley]

Since everyone was piping in about their dealings with Sprint
Broadband, I figure I might as well put my two cents in....

I don't have the option of DSL at my house, and never have liked
COX for some reason, so Sprint was the only option for me.  I
havn't got a clue what their tech support is like, I only know
that they never answer any emails...  When I signed up for the
service, I know I was getting into a shared bandwidth setting,
and actually expected worse then I have seen.  The bandwidth
does bounce around a lot, but most of the time it's like sitting
behind a T1.

Installation was a snap too...  I told the person on the phone
that I ran Linux, listend to his lame statements about not
supporting Linux, and then told him that supporting my OS wasn't
his job, all I wanted was the bandwidth. :)  I went through the
same thing with the tech that came out (they forgot to mention
the Linux part to him) and let him know that I was take care of
everything on the OS side, all I needed were the IP address, netmask,
gateway, and their DNS numbers for good measure (I didn't feel like
confusing him by installing a cacheing name server on my system
while he was sitting there).

For the most part, I've been very pleased with my service...

BTW:  I'm located around 91st Ave and McDowel, with a VERY clean
view of South Mountain.
