Natick, MA | I wouldn't use UUNet's e-mail After all, UUNet is the number 1 distributor of spam in the world. That fact backfired on them some time ago; remember when their mail server died because of all the spam backlogs? | |

| Anon | DSL - The reality and a clean loop DSL requires a clean copper loop to work.
A small percentage of DSL loops do not work
correctly when installed. In the past Covad and
other DSL CLEC's created trouble tickets with
Verizon to clean up these loops. In some cases
the loop could be cleaned up, while in others the
ultimate replacement of the loop was required to
solve the problem. The decision to attempt
repair or to replace the loop rests with the DSL
CLEC and the ILEC.
We are pleased that the new loop that was installed
to provide DSL service through UUNet was a clean
loop and that the user is now functioning as they
should.
Almost all of our approximately five hundred DSL
circuits have been clean when installed and have
provided the performance expected. Based on
actually experience with a few bad loops, we now
know that replacing a bad loop is usually the
fastest way to correct a bad loop problem.
The Covad trouble tickets for this loop indicates a
number of attempts by Verizon to clean up the
loop. The time required for these attempts was
frustrating to the customer, who wanted answers,
and the tech staff that had no new information to
provide until Verizon actually worked on the loop.
The good news for the DSL industry is that most
DSL loops are clean and function well from the
beginning. | |

| Re: DSL - The reality and a clean loop I would have to question why there are no positive comments regarding croslink dsl service as the other isps all have a mix of good and bad.
who is this mr stone? no - really, Who is he? No fibbing now.....and no matter what the reason, it's probably not good enough when complaints are lodged. I sure would not want to deal with him. | |

| where did my previous post go???? Anyway, as my previos post linking to the Better Business Bureau somehow disappeared (thats a serious "no-no" guys), here's the link again. It's always adviseable to check with the BBB whenever possible. The only thing that has changed with the BBB report since the previous post is that Crosslinks is now carrying an "unsatisfactory" rating by the BBB:

There is nothing wrong with posting information to better inform the prospective customer. To that end, it is very risky deleting non-subjective posts. | |
