SBC Yahoo DSL

Ah, then you are most likely better off sticking with SBC's DSL anyways. As far as I know, unless Sprint has their own DSLAM in SBC's central office, they can't give you anything more than what you are getting now, speed-wise. Here, Sprint DSL comes packaged with Earthlink ISP, no other options.

I'm all about selling our services, but I would never recommend them if they are not going to give the user an advantage.

Im on a 1 year contract anyways, if a company has a cheaper per month price and they want me to switch, im all for it. As long as they pay the early contract termination fee and dont interrupt my service, which is impossible

And if they are willing to whisk you away with a better price and eating your early termination fee, then you see if SBC will offer to beat their deal. Competition CAN be a beautiful thing... Just don't tell them about the not-interrupting-your-service part. Then SBC will know they've got their hooks in you. Waffling is the best way to get the sweetest deal. heh heh...

I dont have any desire to change at all really. Im paying $39.99 for 1500/256(1307/246 actual). All upload speeds are being increased this month(On my plan, to 384) and SBC is currently testing lines for 2.5 and 3mb download to compete more with cable. So far things are looking good.

Just stopping by to look at other support forums. Nice place here. Nice atmosphere. Feel free to drop by our forums for help. I'm CCCMTech on there. check it out.

If you have SBC Yahoo DSL and the following pages won't load:

www.java.com
www.pogo.com
http://home.digitalcity.com/
http://yahooligans.yahoo.com/
http://www.checksunlimited.com/Perso...DesignId=10142

and many others, then it is the "Connection Manager" that is messing you up. It took many hours of troubleshooting and research to find this out. The lofty tech support at SBC Yahoo didn't even know this. Here is how you fix it:

How to uninstall Connection Manager
Click “Start”, “Programs”, “SBC Yahoo! DSL”, “Uninstall SBC Yahoo! Applications”, Click “Next”, Check box for “Connection Manager”, follow instruction to uninstall.

After this is done go to “Start”, “Programs”, “Efficient Networks”, “EnterNet 300”, “EnterNet 300”, when the window opens up left click and hold on the Icon on the right that says ‘DSL Connection” and drag it onto the Desk top and release.

From now on you will double click on this Icon to launch your DSL, check the box that says “save password” and then click “Connect”

the enterNet300 contains the PPPoE profile that the system uses....

I havent tried using that to login though.....

You just put a shortcut to enternet300 into your startup folder and it will automatically connect you when windows starts.

I keep reading how you guys all seem to have issues with Yahoo DSL. I agree that they have 180mb of crap on their cds, but why would you even install it? You can use XP to make a new connection without going through that whole process and instead of taking 20 minutes it takes like 2. If you don't know how, call SBC Yahoo and they will walk you through the process.

Originally, I had AOL as a dial-up isp before I made the switch to broadband. My first mistake was picking cable. Everyone said it was faster, but they failed to mention that the hours I use the computer (late at night) everyone is on and the connection slows way down, sometimes to 256. I had Comcast frist, then Tele-Media. Besides those issues, they both were constantly upgrading lines or whatever and I actually had periods where I couldn't surf for days.

Enter Yahoo DSL. Originally SBC told me I had to wait for 10 months into my regular phone service before I could get it. Something about establishing good customer credit. I managed to convince them to send it sooner as I was going to go with a competitor of theirs if they didn't. I pay forthe 2nd highest home package which gets me something like 1400 down (according to Toast.net), and like 700+ up for $59 a month. I also get a $20 discount a month for my phone package, so it works out well.

In almost a year of service, I have only had to contact them like 3 times and that was because they did line maintainence at odd hours and I had no idea. All in all, they are the best, and for those of you who use IRC like me to get movies or music, SBC is the only ISP in America that will not turn over user names and ips.

---Coincidentallly, I highly recommend the new AMD 64-bit processor, and using sp2 on XP or even using Longhorn. I no longer have a bench computer, so I am sticking with XP for now, but longhorn looks to be awesome. Oh, definately get Office 2003. It is so much better than the rest.

Hello everyone,

I have had a cable modem through cox for a while now, thinking about switching to sbc-yahoo DSL.
I tried a modem test at cnet:
http://reviews.cnet.com/7004-7254_7-0.html
It said I am getting 1389.2 kbps at 11:52 AM (central time) today.
I have ran the test at different times, have not got less than a 900 kbps.
Cox charges me $60.00 with modem rental.

I've read a bit about yahoo dsl being a pain to setup.

My computer:
Emachines T1116
1.1GHz Intel Celeron
256mb SyncDram
10/100 Mbps Built-in Ethernet
40 GB Hard Drive

Anyone with dsl think it would be worth switching?
Would I save any money?

Thanks for any info.

As I said above, yahoo dsl is easy to set up. The hardware you just connect and run the driver programs. The connection you go through XP and make a new connection with your user name and password. It's that simple. Don't pay attention to anyone who tells you otherwise.
