    I am not sure my review will be posted in it's entirety since I
    tried to show my experience with the help of DSL LOG page that Speakeasy
    kindly provides, and this log is very long. Overall I would say that
    Speakeasy employs very nice and knowledgeable people who tried to get
    the best out of Covad and BA. They were not always proactive as I would
    have liked, but no complaints, they tried. If you are able to read the
    log, you would see that both BA and Covad are very far from the
    companies I would recommend to deal with. It's a known fact for BA, but
    Covad showed that it can beat BA in it's bureaucracy and stupidity. The
    Covad technician was very nice and knowledgeable though. See for
    yourself.
