Verizon would disconnect at least once every 3 months and it took from 1 day to 14 days to restore service. I switched to a line share and for almost 1 year have not had a single disconnect. I have been told by a Verizon tech that the average lineman doesn't have tools to identify a dry ADSL circuit. I believe that accidents happen. When I had the dry circuit service a Verizon truck in the neighborhood usually accompanied the lose of service. Performance has been indistinguishable after installing a splitter at the side of the house. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16927131 Mon, 18 Sep 2006 16:06:56 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16920400 phrider : I had a DSL line with no dial tone -- and SBC/AT&T interrupted service about every 6 weeks. The problem usually happened on a Friday at 6pm or so because the installers were rushing to complete their installations for the week -- and would take the "spare pair" without a dial tone without following checking procedure. The result was that I was usually down for 4 to 5 days each incident.

Do a "dry pair" or "no dial tone" install at your own risk....!

PS: This dry pair line was not through Cyberonic, but through the Sprint ION service -- which was driven out of business in part because of issues like this. (Sprint ION offered 2 IPs of full rate DSL 8 MB down/1 MB up with four VoIP lines and 1000 minutes of long distance for $150 per month in 2000-2002. Full directory assist and 911 service , too. Sigh. I still miss it, except for the service interruptions every 6 weeks by SBC.)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16920400 Sun, 17 Sep 2006 14:36:32 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16914385 DonBrady : It is listed on their web site but often you do not save that much over a regular line and the telephone company tends to lose track of pairs with no dial tone on them and accidentally reuse them...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16914385 Sat, 16 Sep 2006 11:35:48 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16911990 mig288 : Hello, I want to order a second line from Verizon and order Cyberonic internet with a data line only. Will this work? I assume that Verizon will sell me a data only line and can provision Cyberonic internet through it. Any comments or suggestions will be helpful.

Thanks, Miguel]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16911990 Fri, 15 Sep 2006 21:41:00 EDT
