Best Buy Considering Covad Purchase? > hmmmm...

hmmmm...

Well, I've had Speakeasy since Feb '05, OneLink service with static IP, and it's been rock solid. I've called a couple or three times recently and still great service like before the BestBuy acquisition. Whenever I've called about an issue I've gotten knowledgeable techs who really seem to like what they do, and care about us on the receiving end. I don't feel like anything has changed since BestBuy bought Spk. As it happens, Covad does the hardware end of things for Speakeasy in my area (west Houston). The only "bump in the road" I've had was during a move last year my new service wasn't working, and after they sent a tech to test everything on my end it turned out the DSLAM card in Covad's cage in the CO had to be reset. Rock solid service since then. No complaints from me, and I don't mind paying more to get the stability, plus being able to run whatever I want from home with no TOS or "capping" issues.
Rock on Speakeasy!

I have been with SE since about 2002 and never had a problem other than 9/11 when my pop was in NY. Down for 2 weeks and never more than a hiccup that a reboot of the modem did not cure. I can count on one hand how many times my lines has been down for longer than 10 minutes.

I have not seen any change since BB bought them. I don't see how BB will somehow make Covad profitable without some sizable price increases and that is a good way to finish off the company (Covad).

I wonder if Best Buy has some particular purpose in mind with these ISP acquisitions...
