Re: [PLUG] DCANet DSL Offerings (WAS: Speakeasy/COVAD outages yesterday)

DCANet offers DSL through Verizon and Covad. Because of increasing

This is weird.

I have Speakeasy/Covad at work, and Verizon DSL at home. I like having
two somewhat independent sources in case one has a problem.

What's weird is that I can't figure out a way to decide if Covad is poor
on service vs. if Covad is getting the squeeze put on it by Verizon. I
need to get in touch with Covad directly instead of taking the ISP's
word for everything.

For starters, I think I should forward DCA's negative recommendation to
Covad & see if they care.
