While you're at it. Why doesn't BBR invest some money in some better pre-Qual tools for the visitors of this site.
If I had $1 for every instance where your site told a prospective client that they qualified for service and the telco database said they didn't I would be a rich man. 
Obviously the telco database is correct. |

| dslreports offers all sorts of tools and tips to help it's user base. And does so not for profit. A big difference over ISPs who are making millions for profit off it's customers and are giving them less information and tools. Apples and oranges in my opinion. dslreport's tools are not perfect but overall they are great. I can tell you from experience their CO finder is not at all up to date with lit COs, but at least you can find your CO and get a nice estimate.

The dumbasses at SBC/Ameritech kept telling me I couldn't get DSL here when the girl downstairs used to have it from them and an SBC lineman that I asked said 7 other ppl in 2 blocks of me have their DSL and that he could put me on a que for DSL installation... 2 months passed and not even a call from em' so I told em' where to shove it and switched to TDS Metrocom and they got me setup in a week.

This has to be the most boring and useless series of opinions to ever make it to the front page. I am amazed someone actually approved all of them to be posted one after one.

Funny because I would think the opposite would be equally true (and equally problematic), particularly in SBC areas. For instance, BBR says DSL is a no-go at my address, yet I qualify for 6mbps service. BBR doesn't know about SBC RTs, and there are lots of them out there. I've mentioned this gripe a few times in the BBR suggestions forums. Ultimately BBR needs access to the telco databases. Justin has mentioned in the past that he's attempted to work something out with SBC but it's still not there.

said by dslextreme  :Obviously the telco database is correct. You sure about that? I know of people who are told they can't get DSL at such-and-such a location (House, APT, etc) while the CURRENT occupant at that location or in Apt nearby for example ALREADY HAS IT.
