As my previous post mentioned I ordered Verizon DSL a few days ago, I went through their online order process for a dry-line. A few days went buy with no email notifications, phone calls, or charges to my credit card. I decided to give them a call Friday evening to see what the heck was going on with my order, for some reason my order was never even processed. The guy I spoke with didn’t even have a clue what a dry-line is, he thought I was calling about dialup! You got to be kidding me, does it look like they want my money or what?

I’m trying to re-plan my server situation now, I have to keep myself below $80/month (absolute max) for my internet services.

As most of you are probably already are aware, I have been thinking about colocating my webserver with a company out in Indiana for $39.95/month, I made up my mind to go for it! I just need to get my packaging material in order for shipping my server. Unfortunately, I will need to get rid of my Comcast services altogether to be able to afford the colocation. It’s not like I watch much TV anyways but its nice to know its there. Once a get rid of Comcast I’ll be able to have access to the antenna on top of my apartment complex for regular old over the air broadcasts. Anyways, last night I took the next step and ordered Verizon online DSL which stuck me in a one year contract for $34.95/month. I can get a dry-line at 3000/768 which is 3Mbps slower then my cable but at 3Mbps it’s good enough. My only major concern I have with Verizon is they block port 80 which is the default port for a webserver. So if for some reason this colocation doesn’t work out and I have to host my box here at home again, I’ll be outta luck. I figure my DSL will be setup within two weeks, that will give me time to get all the packing materials needed to ship my server and cancel Comcast.

Am I ready, we’ll see!

I figured I should bring this back into the center of attention again. It has fallen down the list on 2700. I am in need of hardware / software reviewers for PCeXtremist. If you think you got what it takes to write a quality review and to help the site grow. Contact me, thanks.

Welcome to my new home, I fineally decided to register JOkazaki.com which will now be my personal blog. I wanted to keep my personal garbage off my other site (2700.US) which is for the most part technology focused. I hope everyone likes the change, I personally think it was a long time overdue. Well, we’ll see how things move forward with my new online home.
