It's interesting that all of this scepticism and insinuations that this was merely a public relations ploy appears to be coming from those who are NOT DSL Extreme subscribers.
One need not be a customer of DSLx to offer up an opinion.

I also would like to point out that the recent events (i.e. DNS redirects and subsequent termination of that feature upon strong, vehement negative customer reaction)is definitely NOT an example of a public relations "ploy" or attempt to build attention. But for DSL Extreme's prompt, positive handling of the situation, such a tactic could have been disastrous. The company's response however, is an example of effective, intelligent public relations and crisis management.
Your opinion. Again, I have mine, you have yours. You do not know what went on during those tense negotiations anymore than I do. Or do you?

It just so happens that docking even all points from Services isn't enough to move them out of the "smooth ride" category.

It remains to be seen if Ikano is going to try other boneheaded maenuvers, but for now it seems the DSLX team is at bat for us, and I'm satisfied with that for now.

Major screwup, or killer PR ploy? :o
Killer PR ploy to be sure dadkins!
The timing is very suspect. Add to that, Ikano actually listening to their aquisition and its' customers? Putting customer desires over any sort of profit? Very suspect indeed!

I have seen too many sudden reviews of DSLx and threads about DSLx to not be suspicious.

Works though, until this week I never even heard of DSLx.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15856040 Sat, 08 Apr 2006 14:44:13 EDT
