I am not sure my review will be posted in it's entirety since I
tried to show my experience with the help of DSL LOG page that Speakeasy
kindly provides, and this log is very long. Overall I would say that
Speakeasy employs very nice and knowledgeable people who tried to get
the best out of Covad and BA. They were not always proactive as I would
have liked, but no complaints, they tried. If you are able to read the
log, you would see that both BA and Covad are very far from the
companies I would recommend to deal with. It's a known fact for BA, but
Covad showed that it can beat BA in it's bureaucracy and stupidity. The
Covad technician was very nice and knowledgeable though. See for
yourself.

but as this has been going on for close to a month now, we were hoping
Service Delivery would actually contact the telco on this and see if a
resolution date was in hand. Often these orders get lost if you don't
ping the telco every once in awhile. Thanks, Jessica Bandy Speakeasy
