That's because you don't use BA as an ISP. I did; in 6 weeks, I had 6 outages. Very short - 10-15 mins or so max - but still, I would lose connectivity every week, in the middle of a session (prime time session - between 7-10PM). Usually in the middle of a download. :-(

Oh? Verizon dropped xDSL? Are you sure, Bill? Last I heard, they had bought NorthPoint DSL as well.
