Re: [tlug] 100mbit to the home

Try GOL.com for your ISP. We ran an office with ADSL 10MB speed ADSL modem
rented from NTT.  Used a Linksys Router. GOL supplied 2 DNS addresses but a
friend knew of two more and we had zero problems connected to the internet
and didn't notice any slow down.  There were 8~9 computers  using the system
most of the time.  Onne computer was a MAC and the rest M$.  GOL charge
about Y2,000 or so a month and an email address is included, I believe.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes from Tokyo,

Subject: [tlug] 100mbit to the home


An NTT rep stopped by the house over the weekend.  They are apparently
running some sort of campaign and are offering free installation of
100mbit fiber into the homes in my neighborhood.

Looks promising but now we are faced with the decision of which ip
vendor to sign-up with.  The NTT rep suggested bb excite among others
but I was wondering if any tluggers had anything negative to report
regarding them or recommendations for any other vendors in lieu of bb
excite?

My main requirement is that I need at least one fixed ip address and
would like something approaching moderately reasonable (preferably
symetric) bandwidth (my current ADSL connection with odn not
surprisingly is quite horrid for outbound traffic).

  Cheers,
  Bruce
