| Earthlink/Mindspring are unofficially doing it too If you are an Earthlink/Mindspring DSL subscriber with Covad, you can call their DSL Tech Support, get yourself transferred to a Level 2 Tech (just ask the Level 1 guy to pass you on), and request a switch to Fast Packet Switching. It takes about 24 hours for Covad to get it done on their end, but then it's Quake Real Fast(tm)!!
Note that no one at Earthlink/Mindspring is going out of their way to "officially" announce this, but it is being done. All you have to do is ask.  |
| I have Mindspring/Covad. I just got switched to Fast Path DMT. The L2 tech I spoke with was reluctant to call Covad but did so after 5 mins of arguing. Put me on hold for 5 more mins and came back on the line. "Your line will be reprovisioned in 24-48 hours." It turns out to 4 hours later when my 5260 RESYNCED itself out of nowhere. I check the tracerts and am now getting 14ms gateway. I am getting the usual speeds 1300/328 no packetloss (so far) 3000ft from CO.
