Re: [PLUG] [OT] DSL Advice

[John Von Essen <john@essenz.com>]

Verizon's incompetence is not limited to residential type service. In  
March, I was setting up DS-3 service (MCI) for a company out in KoP.  
Verizon was supposed to deliver a ready and tested line to MCI by  
4/01/05. When MCI got the hook up we were unable to establish stable  
connectivity. We went back and forth for almost two weeks. Verizon even  
had the nerve to insist that I go and buy some BNC connectors to setup  
a loop so they could test it from their remote office and not have to  
send out a field technician.

And think, Verizon wants to buy MCI. Actually, that might increase  
quality of service - since it can't get any worse under the existing  
setup.
