After a few jitters with SunRocket, I've cancelled my normal telephone
service (Verizon). Now I'm paying SunRocket $199 per *year* and get more
than what I got with Verizon. I recently plugged the SunRocket adapter into
a wall telephone jack and it powers all the jacks in the house. Of course,
I unplugged the Verizon line outside the house.

I use Cox Cable for my ISP, and I upgraded the speed so I'm getting about
18 Mbps download and about 1.7Mbps upload.

For a little over $16 per month I can put up with an occasional echo. When
I have a problem with outage, which has happened only once recently,
repowering the modem and the adapter has solved the problem.

Yeah! I've been watching SunRocket, but they don't serve either number
I would like to port.



18 Mbps download?


Yeah... I think that was a typo. According to their website it would
take an optical connect to get over 15 Mbps down and 2 Mbps up.


Today it was only a little over 15Mbps. Look 'over there' for 'Speedtest'.
Yesterday it was as I posted. I'll admit I'm paying an extra $15 a month
for the higher speed!
