An Honest Guide To BellSouth DSL

BellSouth DSL is a company that have been running for a long time. This in itself can be re-assuring. They are not the cheapest provider I have seen as their basic package comes in at $24.99 (at the time of writing). Other companies have packages starting at $19.99. They do offer some big advantages however. First of all, they are able to offer broadband in places where other companies do not. Often, if you are in a remote area and want a high speed connection then you're only option is satellite. This can be expensive and speeds are generally not as good as cable. BellSouth can often help here and this is one of the number one reasons that many customers opt for their service.

So let's look at the service they offer. Current Customers of BellSouth DSL report good consistent connection speeds and minimal downtime so if reliability is one of your top priorities you can be fairly sure that you are safe in this area. Another plus is that they have no download limits, which is also a big plus for those of you who use the Internet regularly. Many companies use monthly caps. This means that once you reach your download limit in any given month, you will no longer be able to use the service until the new month begins. This can be very frustrating!

One thing that BellSouth DSL is well known for is ease-of-use. Set up and installation is easy so if you consider yourself to be a computer novice or a techno phobic then this may be a good reason to opt for this service. However, there have been some mixed reviews in other areas. When speaking to some customers regarding technical support and customer service I have heard many say that service is excellent, but a few others report variations from "spotty at best", to "O.K. But not as good as my last provider", all the way to "awful. Rude and unhelpful".

So, should anything happen where you need to speak to customer support, or technical support then it seems you may be in for a lucky dip. I should point out here, that these were isolated cases, and overall BellSouth DSL have a good longstanding reputation and also have thousands of satisfied customers over a wide area.
