Re: Speakeasy Alternatives - Sadly it's time
When I had T1 lines "back in the day" (pre-DSL), you wouldn't believe the number of problems I had as techs stole a pair to put someone's voice service on it. Of course, the T1 wasn't from Verizon - just sourced through them (I worked for an "alternative provider" at the time).
I learned the symptoms for someone who'd been moved to 1/2 of my T1.
Recently, I've been having a love-fest with Verizon, where they moved my line - DSL disappeared - a call to SP confirmed this (suddenly margins were 0 ... heh). SP contacted Verizon, who claimed it was for non-payment? (Huh? The circuit had voice back in 12 hours ...). I explained all this to SP, who waived the reconnect fee (which would've applied had the disconnect been due to non-payment...).
In the pile of scumbags in the world, Verizon is definately #1 .... |
