An ILEC thinking with a clear head? What's next?...the rednecks stopping the boycott of French's Mustard after realizing it's not made by the French?
All sarcasm aside, I think it is high time some of these providers start listening to the consumer who pays the bills.

Well Vonage, and Packet8 is a good way of motivating them. Cut the line, go cable.

| I will never, ever, "go cable" as long as Comcast is the only provider available. The only company I loathe more than SBC is Comcast.

High time (yeehaw..lol) for BellSouth to start offering DSL to customers instead of just a hand full of people. BellSouth can't beat Cables 2.0mb downloads unless the Telco is on Fiber. Why don't they just give us DSL instead of a lot of talk. If your going to say something how about, Hey we just upgraded our old crappy out of date network so you can receive DSL service in your area. Oh wait now thats news. What kind of people run BellSouth... um never mind? Hey wana bannana? haha
Happy Surfin  |

Yeah, well from what I have seen of the service Powerlink can't compete with Bellsouth’s Email service (/5 accounts w/ 25 meg per account), decent number of newsgroups @ full DSL speed, and connection reliability, very little downtime. (for me anyway) I have seen Powerlinks service.. I have to pass! |

You act like every cable operator is offering cable-based broadband service. WRONG! Two big GONGS for you, Mr. Doesn't Know Everything! 
Adelphia finished dropping fiber in my neighborhood back in May 2002, a point when the network got certified for use. Because of decision-makers in that cable company the company as a whole, and many of its local franchises suffered greatly.
Thus, absolutely zero broadband offerings from the cable providership in my little neck of the woods. At least with DSL there is a chance of competition. With the cable organization there is no competition from other cable providers. |

Agreed, Charter Pipeclog is the sludge of the cable industry, they don't offer 200K downloads at peak.... much less 2M. VOIP is impossible because latency is 400ms+. I'll still with my copper, works just fine and has never let me down. |

HAHA DSL on fiber. Let me say this is what caused me to move to another city heres why. Ugggg and the word Dfidl
I waited a year and a half to get DSL and it was finnaly installed last Apirl. Thats when the fun started. after 3 weeks of no service I finnaly got it up and running after they did some work in the in the CO. Of course the whole time fighting back in forth for hours with different reps and supervisors, stating it was my computer or my modem, so I purchased several modems and threw another PC together out of spare parts and voila still didnt work. After what ever they did in the CO I was up untill I rebooted, that took another 2 weeks to figure out, My line was stuck connected on the circuit, but this was not found till 15 hours on the phone with tech support, and them rolling a truck that checked my lines in my house and not finding anything wrong with the lines, phones or modems.
This madness continued, no credit was offered by bellsouth, I just kept getting the response, well this is DFIDL and is a new technology. Well was I paying Beta price for beta testing? Nope.
Finnaly I couldnt handle it any more, I called cancelled the account and started looking for a new area with old cooper lines. Found an area 20 minutes away and I signed up with bellsouth again. To this day not one problem.
I know Im one person, and this is one instance, and I am not raging on support, but I feel sorry really for anyone that had to go through what I had to go through. |
