SBC Yahoo DSL Installation Experience
I just switched my ISP from Comcast to SBC Yahoo DSL. It's troublesome experience(again).
I used SBC Yahoo DSL before I used Comcast. I really hated my first SBC Yahoo DSL installation experience because I had to install loads of useless programs from the SBC Yahoo DSL cd in order to get my sbcglobal.net user and password(Yahoo DSL requires user name/password for connecting through my router. In contrast, Comcast doesn't require any of that).
Second time around, I was determined not to install anything from the SBC Yahoo DSL cd. After 11pm on the day that SBC was supposed to activate my service, I searched around and found that I could use https://sbcreg.sbcglobal.net/ to get my user name and password according SBC DSL FAQ. I went there, re-used my previous user name/password, and associate my username with my home phone number. But the registration process always got stucked on the blank page at http://isp.member.yahoo.com/regisp/y/dsl_resume. Using the user name/password, I couldn't get any DSL service. I finally gave up.
