SBC was offering their basic DSL Express service for a mere $19.95 per month . SBC assured that you would receive at least a 1.5 megabit connection at max 3,000 linear feet from their CO.
When you order a yearly subscription of SBC Yahoo DSL, you will receive a small box containing a free 5100 SpeedStream DSL modem (a $100 value), all the necessary wires and filters, and an installation CD which is necessary to set-up your SBC Yahoo DSL.
If you have more than one computer in your home, you have the option of ordering the wireless home networking kit ($50 after instant rebate). Yahoo doesn’t charge a thing for most of its software/hardware (you will be billed a one time charge of $12.95 for shipping and handling) so long as you commit to their service for a full year. Canceling earlier than a year will result in a $200 cancellation fee that will be attached to your phone bill.
System requirements for PC:
-266 MHz processor speed
- At least 64 MB ram
- 125 MB free hard drive space
- CD ROM
- Win/98/ME/2000/XP
- Ethernet Port
Installing your SBC Yahoo hardware and software is a breeze, it takes roughly 5-10 minutes to completely get everything set-up for internet use. This simple task requires you to plug-in a few cords and insert the one-time installation CD.
SBC likes to boast on their internet commercials that you get free pop-up blocker, virus protection, and free spyware/firewall. This is all great and dandy, however all of the services SBC offers as a "perk" can be downloaded for free at most legitimate freeware sites or even software company sites. For example, SBC Yahoo boasts that it offers a free firewall, but when you go to download their free firewall it’s by Zone Labs which doesn’t charge a thing for their firewall.
As you might have expected, SBC Yahoo comes with Yahoo messenger (a free service no matter what service you use). If you have SBC Yahoo already installed, a new Yahoo will be created, which is supposed to be better, but I never noticed a difference other than a different Yahoo Messenger logo on my desktop. SBC Yahoo allows you to make up 7 different accounts, however only one account can be used at a time.
Unlike most Dial-up services, you don’t need to have a credit card or bank account to have SBC Yahoo DSL. Every month you will be billed along with your SBC phone bill.
This service is very good for the price, technical help was extremely helpful gave us help setting up the system in more ways than we ever thought we would get help from technical staff, they were also very friendly and pretty much personable
