DSL performance evaluation

Lt · 08-30-2002, 03:51 PM

Got to install my DSL this morning. After a few teething problems I was hooked. One HUGE glaring retarded feature is the smtp server.

With RoadRunner I used their smtp to send my business e-mail. With Verizon, I can't send mail unless it's from a verizon.net address.

I'm not giving up the connection so I have to move my site to a host that provides smtp and pop.

I know, it could be argued that the host should put the smtp on the server but I still think Verizon's spam filtering (for this is why they do it) is a little draconian. And I thought AOL's spam filters sucked!

Still, Vive la DSL!!!! It's faster than my old cable and, if my son-in-law's service is a good example, it's also very reliable.
