what do you guys know about bluezone?

I started wondering why all my neighbors have a ball shaped antenna on their roofs and in another post rockmonkey enlightened me.

I have it and it is way better than dialup. It has gone down for a day or two a couple of times in the year and a half I have had it but it is pretty reliable. Qwest DSL has recently become available in my neighborhood and I am probably going to switch over. The qwest DSL at my parents house is noticeably faster and only a couple bucks more a month with a lifetime price guarantee.

Almost everyone on my street and around me (a few blocks South of you) have BlueZone. It has had a couple times where it has only worked for 1 day out of the whole week. They repointed all of the antenna's to a different tower and for the next few months it worked only 1/2 of the time. They always say "they're working on it right now to get it back up" but I've learned to be patient. There is a new service that several neighbors are switching to its

http://www.digis.net/services/bundle.shtml

They have a bundle package $24.95 for 1.5 Mbps dnld 512k upld and unlimited phone for the same price. Or 5 Mbps dnld/ 2 Mbps upload for only $5 more. I will probably be making the switch really soon.

I've heard Digis is good until you have problems, then it's really really bad. The way I understand is the owner is rich and is using Digis as a tax write off and doesn't care about his employees or customers. I have no first hand experience myself. After hearing that from a trusted individual and seeing their start up prices, I never bought in.
