In another thread the troll, when asked about the "@hatesville" said he didn't know anything about it or why it is up there.

Now, the same troll is quick to point out that "Oh, we host that domain."

Either way, we're coming up on 72 hours and nothing that resembles anything official.

Whether or not they went out of business at this point is moot at this point. We know that they are down. We know that they have no redundancy. We know that they are cash strapped. We have it good authority that the reason they are down is not an equipment failure, but the circuit being turned down because of lack of payment.

Likewise, since clients can connect to anything "within" speedfactory's local route tables, how come nothing is on the internal website?

If, and I say if, we take our phantom here at face value, and believe him when he says that he is a SF employee and that they are working feverishly to correct the problem, at this point, do we really stick around anymore?

With cash flow problems and they do manage to get their backbone link restored, when will the ATM from the bellsouth CO's be turned down for the same reason?

What happens in 30 days when the bills come due again?

Like so many of us, I've been sticking it out and giving them "one more chance" - especially thru the lengthy outages and crap latency issues we've had in the past year or so - but not any more.

Hopefully I'm reprovisioned by Wednesday.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20328292 Sun, 13 Apr 2008 18:01:13 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20327805 anon : Given the abrupt failures we've seen in the airline industry just this week, it perhaps shouldn't be too surprising that SF/Nextphase imploded with similar suddenness. Based on the implosions of even large corporations, I'd say the only "safety" you can be sure of with BellSouth is that you might see a press release and a couple extra days notice of an impending meltdown.

I personally see no reason whatsoever to believe any supposed SF tech who can't even be bothered to register a real account here.

Oh, and here's the whois for hatesville.com...

Perhaps the SF execs have relocated to beautiful St. Kitts? That might explain a thing or two.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20327805 Sun, 13 Apr 2008 15:50:02 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20327176 anon : Earlier in this forum, somebody posted a quote from NextPhase Wireless' 4th quarter 10K form that they are obliged to file with the Securities & Exchange Commission. That was a good post and a good way to approach this problem. I went and read the same report. The part that got my attention (in the section where they list risks to their forward-looking statements) was the part that basically said [paraphrased by me], we may not have enough cash flow to pay our bills and we will continue to fund operations by issuing stock and debt financing. That was the general gist of it anyway. Looked to me like NextPhase might have been a highly aquisitive company, probably using a lot of financing to make the aquisitions. Just a guess of course, but I bet NextPhase is a victim of the credit crunch, ie, the same dredit crunch all the banks are experiencing now. If you want to read the 10K report for yourself, go to SEC.gov and do a search for NextPhase Wireless, then look for the Dec 07 report.

I'm in metro Atlanta and I do not have service today. I can go to Speedfactory.net but that's all. I'm using Juno dial-up now... just got the 3 months for $4.95 intro offer. Juno seems to be real slow though, even for dial-up. I'm not getting full dial-up speed out of it.

I don't much of anything about Atlantic Nexus much but I did notice it mentioned a few places on this forum. So I went and checked them out at their websire and also with DSLReports.com. I see they have the 1.5 mbps DSL lines for same as Speed Factory sold them and that $40 line that's 3.5mbps is looking pretty good right now. I know maybe Bellsouth might be the safest bet but I suspect they port block sometimes and also don't like the idea of my phone support linking to India.

Not sure I'd go out and buy another DSL service quite yet though cause if SF did manage to come back to life, then I'd be in contracts for two DSL lines.

I would hope Speed Factory would decide something over the weekend and either be up-running again Monday morning or post notice to us on Monday.

Too bad Speed Factory was taken over by NextPhase. The "old" Speed Factory was great. They never would have pulled a stunt like this.

If you look that is a site we host.

I am not sure that I believe you. :huh:]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20326886 Sun, 13 Apr 2008 11:53:51 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20326767 anon : I'm still off-line! :( Is anybody else back online today?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20326767 Sun, 13 Apr 2008 11:36:41 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20326458 anon : I rebooted and I have service.
