Net Zero Hi-Speed Internet
Anyone tried it? Is it really hi-speed or just dial-up with a bigger cache?
Is there any hi-speed that's affordable?

It cache's the websites that you visit to reduce load times, it isn't actually faster. Just get cable baby!

Its marketing genius by fooling people into thinking they are getting a faster connection. They say that the average internet user only browses 5 different sites a day so I guess it is worth the extra bucks

I guess the "average internet user" never has to download windows updates each week.
I can't even fathom going back to dialup. Its funny I used to hate Cox cable for TV service, but I am really pleased with their High-speed internet. Their tech support guys are really helpful and friendly.

Cox upset me so bad that I went to Cable America, Cox lost my deposit, they took the money out of my account and kept billing me for it. They kept making these harassing phone calls. Magically they found my money 2 days after I disconnected, I got sick of their phone calls and BS so I went with Cable America
....their customer service is ridiculous, but their service is okay.. I acutally get a faster download and upload with them and they are cheaper |
