Re: [PLUG] Distance to my local CO
|
Heh, I had a terrible experience with SpeakEasy. Does Comcast offer
digital cable in your area? If so, you can probably get service from
them. I've been happy with them.. the IP is static for all intents and
purposes (mine has changed once in a year and a half), and it really is
a lot faster than anything Verizon will give you for $50 (assuming you
don't have Fios since you're asking about DSL).

I've talked with both Verizon and Cavalier and they have told me
that I am 17700ft from my local CO. DSL reports says that I am 4480ft
from my local CO. The DSL reports site claims that Covad has a CO
closer to me, http://www.dslreports.com/coinfo/clli/KGPRPAKP. If this
is true, then how can I use the Covad CO? Am I forced to go through
them only or can I find another service provider like Speakeasy to run
through the Covad office?
I've been super-impressed with Speakeasy. I'd give them a call and
see what you can do. They generally seem enough on the ball that if
you point out that you are 4480 ft from a Covad CO, they can probably
look at that. (I think they usually use Covad anyway.)
If you do go with Speakeasy, pick your favorite PLUG'er who uses
Speakeasy and claim it was a recommendation. Someone will get a
small credit for the favor.
