I had Covad for over a year and they were great. They did not have they're act together and really dragged their feet during my transfer to Speakeasy, but I don't know if I'd expect anything different (I can see the testimonials "they made it really easy to switch away from them"). Speakeasy has been pretty nice so far, but I haven't had a lot of experience so far (but other Linux users have wholeheartedly recommended them). I'm glad I haven't had to talk to Qwest since that two year period they alternated between telling me I could and could not get DSL. :-/ >>> sraun at fireopal.org 02/06/04 04:28PM >>> On Fri, Feb 06, 2004 at 12:27:45PM -0600, Nate Carlson wrote: > I've also seen times where the analog side of a phone line is dead, > but DSL still works fine. QWest is insane. I'm still a DSL user, but mostly because, since that problem got fixed (they needed to replace something at my CO), I have had NO problems. That's in ... over three years now? As long as it's not broke, I'm not going to try to fix it. If I do end up dealing with QWest tech support for too long in the future, I'm going to seriously look at DirecWay satellite PC service. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
