Are there any DSL providers servicing West Philly (48th and Baltimore) that do not rely on Verizon as the ILEC? I just cancelled a business-class, naked ADSL line that was on order with Speakeasy for 5 weeks after growing increasingly frustrated by Verizon's apparent failure to deliver a working line. After numerous delays, Verizon delivered the loop but Covad has been claiming now for the past week that it doesn't meet their specs (excessive DC voltage). In response, Verizon once claimed to have repaired the line but for the past week was closing out trouble tickets as soon as Covad would open them. Speakeasy was unable to tell me why this was happening or what could be done to actually get me service. Overall, I was happy with Speakeasy, but the ISP / CLEC / Verizon business model seems deeply flawed to me. In the past, people have had generally good things to say about DCA.net. Who do they use for the actual lines? Any other ISPs that bypass Verizon? Or should I look instead at cable (Urban Cable Works in my area)? Thanks in advance, George -- theall@tifaware.com Attachment:
