Anybody need fiber in http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r14009399 en Sun, 29 Nov 2009 01:10:36 EDT Sun, 29 Nov 2009 01:10:36 EDT Re: Yeah ok http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14028014 anon : Well, I'll tell you what did it for me. I had Qwest and DSL, but after a two day DSL outage and the snotty attitude of the Qwest tech support, that was it. I canceled all service with Qwest, and switched over to Comcast and Vonage. I couldn't be happier. The only company that suffered unfairly in this was DirecTV, whose service I canceled since it didn't make sense to keep them when I was getting cable anyway. So if any executives are reading this, tech support makes a difference.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14028014 Sun, 31 Jul 2005 20:20:52 EDT Re: Yeah ok http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14021526 DSLTech : Project PRonto is the name given to the RT deployment project.

I am on an RT as well and get 6mbit service as well.

It really does take a long time to develop an entire multimedia/TV broadcast newtwork over newly run fiber and old copper. Not to mention other roadblocks beyond the control of the company.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14021526 Sat, 30 Jul 2005 20:11:21 EDT Re: Yeah ok http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14012779 carpdiem : I'm an engineer for SBC and am working on FTTN/FTTP(Project lightspeed)...it is coming. Maybe not tomorrow or next week but it is coming.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14012779 Fri, 29 Jul 2005 15:05:30 EDT Anybody need fiber http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14009399 raye : PacBell (pre-SBC) dug up my development to put fiber in about seven years ago. Now they do not even remember that it is there.

These bozo's couldn't find shit if the head was up their ass.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14009399 Fri, 29 Jul 2005 02:30:33 EDT Re: Yeah ok http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14008340 jimbo2150 : Yes, they commonly have higher speeds in SOME areas. Mainly where DSL has been uping thier speeds, or in Fios areas. Many areas accross the US still have maximum 3-4mb/s connections just as DSL does. The major thing that kills cable is that many locations where the main hubs are located are over-crowded, causing many people to see dial-up or slower speeds. I know for a fact that that happens in my area since I used to have cable internet, that is the main reason I switched to DSL (as well as cable having higher latency).

Project Lightspeed was their fiber project. So I have to agree with djrobx. His DSL agrees.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14007761 Thu, 28 Jul 2005 21:55:44 EDT Re: Yeah ok http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14007744 fiberguy :

SBC has been talking about Project Pronto, Project Lightspeed, whatever they call it now for years. Nothing has ever come of it. They're all talk.
Most of the telcos, apparently except Verizon and Fios, are all talk when delivering these new projects. It would be nice to see one of them actually deliver something for a change.
And let's not forget just how long it took Verizon to deliver on *it's* promise of fiber too, now.

From what I recal, Verizon received many many $$s to launch this advanced service years ago, and they are just not in the beginning of launching the service.

Sorry, Verizon, yet again, doesn't get a free pass on this one.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14007744 Thu, 28 Jul 2005 21:54:23 EDT Re: Yeah ok http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14007629 dorosz :

My 6mbps DSL circuit that's working 29,000 feet from the CO thanks to Pronto, disagrees with you.
Yeah but Cable has had that for years now....next?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14007629 Thu, 28 Jul 2005 21:43:06 EDT Re: Yeah ok http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14006580 ib50MbSoon :

Keep talking. So far SBC has done jack shit. All they do is run their mouth. .....
Yup, all I can get from Slacker Bell Corporation is a slow ACK dialup line. I think they call it Project Slightspeed in Michigan.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14006580 Thu, 28 Jul 2005 19:32:13 EDT Re: Yeah ok http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14005843 doofus_king : No kidding!

Them not being a telephone company is probably why it took 5 telephone calls, 1 missed service call and 2 actual service calls to get my telephone and DSL lines working this week.

I certainly wouldn't want to offend anyone by calling SBC a telephone company. Maybe manipulative monopolist suits them better.

UGGGH!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14005843 Thu, 28 Jul 2005 17:48:42 EDT Re: Yeah ok http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14005659 jimbo2150 : I doubt you are running off the CO from that distance. Probably an RT closer to you.

One person happy with the 'next gen' service... out of millions of customers. Anyone else?

To tell you the truth letting a 'few' get the faster 6mb/s connection for the same price as the 3mb/s while others are left in the dark is just unfair. If I had known about it less then a month before I signed up for DSL, I MAY have been able to get it.

Untill at least 10mb/1mb is released, I wont be entirely satisfied. I would like to do some fast transfers between work/home/friends. So far that doesn't happen.
