An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call

Why Customers Call DSL Extreme
If you have time to do a bit of reading before you call DSL Extreme, we recommend you read over some of our problem-specific articles.
DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) and cable internet are two different types of technologies used to provide high-speed internet access. The main difference between the two lies in their underlying infrastructure.
DSL internet operates using existing copper telephone lines, allowing simultaneous internet and telephone usage without interference. It offers a dedicated connection to the service provider, ensuring consistent speeds and reliability. However, the speed and quality of DSL internet decreases as the distance between the provider's location and the subscriber's premises increases.
On the other hand, cable internet utilizes coaxial cables that are primarily used for cable television services. It offers faster speeds and greater bandwidth capacity compared to DSL, making it a more suitable choice for heavy internet usage or multiple connections within a household. Cable internet speeds remain fairly consistent regardless of the distance between the provider and subscriber.
Ultimately, the choice between DSL and cable internet depends on the user's specific needs, location, and budget constraints.

Use the link to connect with customer service through Twitter
DSL Extreme, like many companies, provides customer service on the X platform (formerly Twitter). While it rarely entails live dialogue with a customer service rep, this channel can yield rapid response times and can be a useful option if you have an X/Twitter account.
As a last, sometimes only, resort- DSL Extreme customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
