Re: [PLUG] Speakeasy Worldcom-to-Covad nightmare
|
Same thing happened with me. I had DCANet with Covad
as the service provider. Everything was great for
about a year and a half. Though the speed wasn't that
great, the service was very reliable, and the 6 static
IPs was a nice bonus.
When my service went out, I was on the phone with
DCANet, Covad, the pope, and just about everyone else
several times per week for a month with no success.
As someone else on the list mentioned, everyone tried
pinning the blame on the person that wasn't on the
phone. I was even scheduled for a Covad service
person to come to the home. I stayed home from work,
and nobody showed -- on two different occasions.
Finally, I just gave up and changed over to Verizon.
I have heard all of the Verizon horror stories, and I
resisted switching to them, but to be honest, they've
been very good so far. 1.5 Mbps down, 128 kbps up,
and, so far, I haven't had any down time. DHCP is a
bit annoying -- believe it or not, the address changes
pretty much daily. Otherwise, so far so good.
