I am considering having two, highspeed Internet
connections here in Dallas Texas, USA.
My current DSL supplier, Yahoo/Swbell, used to be
very reliable. However, a few weeks ago, the
DSL line sometimes becomes so overloaded, that
only Amiquote can manage to use this overloaded DSL
line. Outlook Express is unable to go get
the mail during these times.
This happens at different times in the evenings. I
suspect that someone in the neighborhood is doing massive
downloads after they arrive home from work.
The Swbell DSL server rarely is a problem.
My question is, if I were to subscribe to a second DSL
service such as Earthlink, that I have copied below, would
it be able to function during the periods that the Swbell
DSL is bogged down. I am guessing that it a second DSL
supplier could get through if it is using a different part
of the frequency band.
I am having to ask about this due to my very limited tech
abilities.
Comcast cable runs down the alley, but their service will
cost as much as two, DSL lines.
All advice will be appreciated. Ron D |
