Re: Piggie has now joined the Haters!
Mojo, you know me, I have no desire to remain a hater. But I felt it was time to make a point and I don't have any regrets posting it the way I did. Polite, but to the point.
I guess what tripped me and the straw that broke this Kunekune's back was it had been working for 7 months. No one has moved in around here so it's not oversold what so ever and engineering knows it's T1's into my DSLAM taking errors. I was read that over the phone Wed night. They also meantioned it was reported Aug 2 (probably me) and the T1's taking errors was told to me by Monday. I didn't call between Thursday and Monday because it appeared to be fixed.
It's been up and down, regardless of the time of day, so it's not traffic. At first it was livable because the low points were still in the 200 range. It slowly gotten worse since Monday, till now the high points are 200 and lows it nearly stops and often can's even start a speed test.
Ok, if we were back on Hughes, the fan boys there would tell me to get a T1 with 24/7 service, not my point. Yes I know I can't expect a truck to roll and have no more than 2 to 3 hours downtime. But obviously at since Monday it has been known to be bad T1's and it's gotten worse, much worse. It would seem reasonable that a problem like this on working equipment would be back in service within a week? Shouldn't that be time to identify the problem, order the parts and install or repair them?
No where I worked did we dare leave equipment down that long unless there was a problem from a vendor on parts and even then we would shut off the bad trunks (radio SMR) and tell people yes we are down to 3 channels and parts ordered. We didn't leave the bad trunks running, but had everyone fall over on the good remaining ones. We had a complete 5th working channel that wasn't hooked we could in 30 minutes have on the air also. Yeah that was commercial 2way radio, so may I am comparing apples to oranges.
However I do feel that the same way I organized a DSL petition to get DSL in the area, why not have a local users group. A small web site would do and if things were totally out have a call list. I call 5 people, they each call 1 or 2 people, and so on. I believe here on this outage, I would be very curious to see how many people called. I only know of 3 out of a couple hundred customers effected. After all the latency remains good. And a lot of the week it's been above 300 or so, so slow surfing could be a website. Emailing went pretty much unaffected. Even when speed tests were giving me modem or less speeds I could email and ping google in 50ms. Any way I digressed, if 20 or more people from an affected area called, it would raise a lot more flags at the office. Then after a week have them ask for credits should raise the bigger red flag.
Just my rambling thoughts. Flame me, praise me, ignore me, or shame me, it won't matter to me.
BTW how is Mojo doing? and please check what is in his mojo bag, because if there are phone parts along with magic stones, there in may lie the problem! My cats say hello to him but also said they are glad he lives there and they live here.

Jefferson, GA | Mojo is doing great. But she is disparaged about my speeds. She said that if speeds don't come back to where they should be, she will fix it herself. I'm staying away from her for a few days... | |

| Watch close if her bag changes, or when she is sleeping check the contents. Cause I am no too sure black magic is what we really need to fix this, many many things could go wrong! I had a LOT of trouble with a stuff pig once that was into heavy weapons and time dilation, he even has a web site though I know better from the hackers robots reading here than to post it! I posted a forum I run here once and had to all but shut it down for a month from the robots I presumed saw the post here. I don't care if anyone here knows the site, sees it, even does a whois to find out who I am. But the hackers can really reek havoc.
