I have a question and a comment...
-Can somebody give the specs on AERONET? Pros/Cons? Upload/Downloads speeds?
-Now... for people having the 6 hour IP renew problem-> I'm correct assuming that the problem lies on having a different IP and your game disconnect? Can you use a FQDN (fully qualified domain name) instead?
I mean using myserver.gameserver.com instead of the actual ip address of x.x.x.x? If so, you can subscribe to a free Dynamic DNS service in which you set a FQDN to be automatically updated. This means that since you are always using the FQDN and the mapping to the IP keeps working no matter if it changes... the connection from the game server is not dropped. I use this to run SMTP and/or IIS servers with dynamic IP (something that is normally not possible to do).
I just thought it might be of use for some of you guys... I don't know if this has been discussed before (this is my first post).
Cheers,

AERONET SUX (ENGLISH ONLY!)
They charge you on 3 basis, 39.99 for 512/128 - 59.99 for 1mbit/128 and 99.99 for 3mbits/256.JAGomez wrote: -Can somebody give the specs on AERONET? Pros/Cons? Upload/Downloads speeds?
HOWEVER
THEY DON'T GUARANTEE 3mbits speed as download... even in that offer they only guarantee you 512kbps/128kbps.
I don't know about their speed/prices but I do know for a fact that they will sell you a 3mbit download connection and will only guarantee you'll get 512k. If at peak hours your connection drops to 600k, you're screwed.borikua wrote: also i remmeber reading somewhere that aeronet GUARANTEE their speeds......again maybe i'm wrong but i think i read it somewhere, besides WHAT ISP GUARANTEE THEIR SPEEDS???

well at least they guarantee 512k a decent speed i think......nobody else guarantee any speed so i dont know what is your complaint but i know for a fact is better that prt,cable or any other ISP........y esto lo digo en español pues ya me jarte de esta estupidez del ingles: no se cual es la cosa d defender tanto a prt si su servicio fuera bueno y confiable yo seria el primero q hablaria bien d ellos, y digo mas ahora luego d un mes d estar con centennial cable puedo decir mas q seguro q el 512/128 de centennial aki en mayaguez es 100 veces mejor q el DSL, el dsl d prt es crappy digan lo q digan los q la defienden, sinceramente no me importa lo unico q se es q a NADIE le recomendaria el servicio d prt aun cuando esa fuera la unica alternativa, alla los q les gusta regalar su dinero por un servicio mediocre
ps
servicio se refiera a todo desde q la linea este up hasta cuando hay q llamar al apoyo tecnico, asi q no me vengan a decir ahora q eso no es asi bla,bla,bla

Puedes cancelar el servicio sin penalidad si el problema no es en tu linea, o sea si ellos se quedan sin bandwidth. Ademas, si se te cae el servicio, no te cobran los dias que este abajo... eso se llama garantia. Que tengas problemas probando que dias no tuviste servicio es otro cuento. Entiendo que si lo reportas ellos saben cuantos dias fueron y te lo acreditan si lo pides.

en el punto #9 tambien esta la garantia del servicio y credito por downtime. Aunque no necesariamente te garantizan un bandwidth minimo.
Aeronet
http://www.aeronetpr.com/residentialdetails.htm
1. Speeds vary depending on distance from antenna, physical environment conditions and network load. Speeds of at least 512kbps are Guaranteed.
Eso quiere decir, que si ellos deciden sobrevender su bandwidth al punto que los clientes de 3Mbit esten a 768k, pues mala suerte. No entiendo como eso es algo bueno.
No pienso buscar mas garantias de otros ISP's.
Como puedes decir que esa garantia es "for a fact" mejor que *cualquier otro* ISP? 512K sera decente para ti, pero cuando estas pagando por 3Mbit no es nada decente.
No voy a comenzar esta discusion otra vez. Aparentemente ya leiste el otro thread asi que sabes lo que pienso. Piensa lo que quieras y no se lo recomiendes a nadie. Yo lo recomiendo cuando es pertinente.borikua wrote:el dsl d prt es crappy digan lo q digan los q la defienden, sinceramente no me importa lo unico q se es q a NADIE le recomendaria el servicio d prt aun cuando esa fuera la unica alternativa, alla los q les gusta regalar su dinero por un servicio mediocre

sorry mehmet, basically what i'm trying to say is that PRTDSL sucks big way and is not better than nothing and nebul disagree and i dont know why he takes it personally, me i dont care if he get it personnal thats his problem not mine.
the guarantee other ISP give are not worthy cause their guarantee is that if u dont like their speeds u can get a refund or a credit, c'mon u all know that is not true, think u ask for a refund u "get it" when bill arrives u see that there is no credit so u have to call again and they said u just pay the difference and then next month u get the same bill with new charges cause u according to them havent make the right payment, so u have to call again and to clear it up things u have to go to their offices so they can fix the error.....is that a godd guarantee??? nebul think so, i dont........at least aeronet give a decent alternative cause they guarantee 512k a speed that i think is better than a stupid credit or refund, what i dont like about aeronet is the setup fee and the 1 year contract but that is another thread
i aint gonna keep going with this but i NEVER,NEVER recommend PRTDSL to anyone is that their only option i said stick with dialup, thats my opinion u can like it or not but i dont like to throw my money and i dont have lots of money to do so......in fact i have a month now since centennial cable modem was installed in my house and its beeen a month too since i ask for the third time to PRTDSL to disconnect my DSL service i have make 3 different calls and still my line is up!!!! WOW that is a great service dont you agree NEBUL
(now that is what i call personnal) u want and love PRTDSL???? good for you go get it and rot in hell

I understand there is no reason to fight about that because we are living in a place that we don't have too many choices of broadband, so everybody needs to choose the provider that they think are the best for they needs. And in my case I don't have choice I have DSL because is the only provider in my area. So people let's do this how only we know how to do it, with respect.
By the way memhet where you originally are from?
AND HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY.

you are missing a point borikua, 512kb guarantee speed is for 3mbits, not for 512kb option. They told me, they dont guarantee 3mbits too, it only depends on peak times, I really am not sure even aeronet has enough bandwidth to dedicate for.borikua wrote:sorry mehmet, basically what i'm trying to say is that PRTDSL sucks big way and is not better than nothing and nebul disagree and i dont know why he takes it personally, me i dont care if he get it personnal thats his problem not mine.

Anyway, you are right PRTDSL sux, But you can't say it's worst than dialup, so I agree with nebul, it's better than nothing.
anyway let's not make this an argument, everyone has their own points, I have had a not-that-bad experience with PRTDSL in mayaguez area, and I applied for my new home in rio piedras now
I was NOT arguing and I wasn't taking it personal, not agreeing with you and saying something about it is not taking anything personal. Now telling people to take a xanax, shouting (CAPS), bringing up old discussions on an unrelated thread for no apparent reason and telling me to rot in hell, that sounds like taking it personally. What did I write that was disrespectful or personal?borikua wrote:sorry mehmet, basically what i'm trying to say is that PRTDSL sucks big way and is not better than nothing and nebul disagree and i dont know why he takes it personally, me i dont care if he get it personnal thats his problem not mine.
You hate DSL, I don't agree. Like I wrote in my last post, I really don't care either way and I'm not going to start this discussion again. And yet you keep bringing it up again and again.
Now going back to the Aeronet thread....
I know several people who have gotten credits on time the first time they ask for them. A 512K guarantee is a decent alternative? Have you noticed that they guarantee 17% of the bandwidth you're paying for? (512/3000) How's that decent? If PRTC guaranteed 17% of their bandwidth you'd be stuck with 87K (for 512) and 43K(for 256), that's dialup speeds. Now if they did that, you'd be ranting and complaining about it too, don't you call that being biased?. If you pay for 512K you should get it and if you pay for 3Mbit you should get it too (give or take a reasonable amount, say 10-20% at peak hours). What if their antenna fails and you're left without service for a month? Do you think they'll give you a credit? Where does it say so? Also, what if your speed drops below 512K? Where in writing does it say how they'll guarantee your speed? Have you ever even tried their service?... because I have... Sounds to me like you're supporting something you don't know much about.borikua wrote: the guarantee other ISP give are not worthy cause their guarantee is that if u dont like their speeds u can get a refund or a credit, c'mon u all know that is not true, think u ask for a refund u "get it" when bill arrives u see that there is no credit so u have to call again and they said u just pay the difference and then next month u get the same bill with new charges cause u according to them havent make the right payment, so u have to call again and to clear it up things u have to go to their offices so they can fix the error.....is that a godd guarantee??? nebul think so, i dont........at least aeronet give a decent alternative cause they guarantee 512k a speed that i think is better than a stupid credit or refund, what i dont like about aeronet is the setup fee and the 1 year contract but that is another thread

Like I said before, I'm not even going to start this again. Stick to the topic. I already said everything I had to say on that other thread. But if you're so sure you're right, and that everyone here agrees with you, then start a new thread with a poll and ask if people would return to dialup after having DSL. You had DSL yourself before getting Centennial Cable, for how long? Why didn't you go back to dialup? It's very easy to say you'd do something, going through with it is the hard part.borikua wrote: ...i NEVER,NEVER recommend PRTDSL to anyone is that their only option i said stick with dialup, thats my opinion u can like it or not but i dont like to throw my money and i dont have lots of money to do so......in fact i have a month now since centennial cable modem was installed in my house and its beeen a month too since i ask for the third time to PRTDSL to disconnect my DSL service i have make 3 different calls and still my line is up!!!!

Great! All the fun people are going to be there anyway. See? This is not taking it personal.borikua wrote: u want and love PRTDSL???? good for you go get it and rot in hell
Sorry about the spanish mehmet.
cool man and i see your point and is a valid one but still i think is a better guarantee than those the other ISP have....i also from mayaguez and my experience with PRTDSL is a really bad one, maybe if prtdsl doesnt had the one year contract maybe then might be an option but right now if that was the only option i will stick with dialup, i dont wanna make an argument i'm cool about i''m just passionate when i write and speak and that upset some folks sorry
the bottom line is that if prtdsl works for you and u are ok to deal with them when bad times comes well, go for it, but if you ask me thats another story

hummm esto me huele a un anti-plug
Hey guys.. sorry to insert my spoon on this subject("meter la cuchara") jajajja
This conversation has simply turned from a full-fledged critic to Aeronet into an anti-plug.
Anti-Plug: a way of adveritising using reverse psychology. Have you guys seen the ridiculous amount of replies that this message have received?
If the service does suck, Go PRTC or Adelphia(centennial, liberty, etc), else.. stay with Dial-Up until broadband arrives to your area
I think somebody works for aeronet... *wink*
*wink* *wink*
Well,
These are my 2 bitches, I mean.. cents...(perras as in chavitos prietos)
Cheers,
Koji

line!!!! do i get a credit for it? yeah right!! did i call for it!!! u bet i did!!!!
how come u know a lot about aeronet? did they give u bad service or something??? cause i have been here for like two years and never seen bad posts about aeronet maybe one (this one) and suddenly their service is crap? then u have a forum loaded with lots of post about the crappy DSL PRT offers, that will make anyone take a XANAZ............
how many time i have DSL??? i have it 2 years. one year of contract that have a really bad start then goes well till 6 months DSL die!! 3 weeks without dsl then backup again end of the contract samething DSL out dont remember for how long, then service is up again and my great upload never go beyong 80k till today!!! yes today cause they cant even make a disconnection order, a damn month & 3 frikin disconections orders and still my DSL line is up!!! my telephone bill is here askin for 88.49 of service yeah sure i am gonna pay......i didnt need to go to dialup i have dialup did u forget the "free dialup account" with your DSL service i was at dialup!!! the year after the contract dsl never works ok, bad tech suppport, tech never arrives at my house i did climb the damn poste and went to the distribution terminal and rewire everything a job that someone from the ISP must DO!! no man DSL can rot in hell and if you want join be my guest, i'll be there too!!!!!

for what i have read this means that under conditons the least they can offer you is 512k, still good to me, since i have to put for like 3 or more months a DSL line that between 8pm -1am everyday drops to 33k dialup1. Speeds vary depending on distance from antenna, physical environment conditions and network load.
Speeds of at least 512kbps are Guaranteed

I thought we had already settled this and that we were finished discussing this... We know they say the will guarantee speeds of at least 512k.. which sucks if you're paying for 3Mbit. What if you pay for 3Mbit and your speed is 520K all the time? Putting that aside, we don't know what they're guranteeing that bandwidth with. What if your speed is below 512K? Do we even know what they'll do about it? Will they refund? Or will they just leave you hanging for three months while they check out what the problem is? Just saying "Guaranteed speeds of 512K" without any other explanation says nothing.borikua wrote: for what i have read this means that under conditons the least they can offer you is 512k, still good to me, since i have to put for like 3 or more months a DSL line that between 8pm -1am everyday drops to 33k dialup

He was originally complaining about how they never showed up for service installations. Then we found out about the guarantee. He actually picked Aeronet over PRTC originally, when they never arrived, then he changed his mind. Although there haven't been any complaints in here about Aeronet, there also havent been many praises about it. That doesn't mean the service is good, it only means they don't have many subscribers.borikua wrote: how come u know a lot about aeronet? did they give u bad service or something??? cause i have been here for like two years and never seen bad posts about aeronet maybe one (this one) and suddenly their service is crap? then u have a forum loaded with lots of post about the crappy DSL PRT offers, that will make anyone take a XANAZ............
