| Fairpoint Makes Poor First Impression In New England I live in Bangor, Maine and so far have had NO problem with Fair Point except that they do not have there web site up so , but willthat bills can be paid online. Instead if you call in to pay the bill the charge you $3.50. But as for now they will credit you the $3.50 back onto your account. | |

| Re: Fairpoint Makes Poor First Impression In New England I live in Washington County Maine and my bill has already increased by about $30 a month, with no new services added mind you. The deal also cost me a job as I worked for a small WISP that has spent 3 years trying to bring broadband to those areas that I'm sure Fairpoint will ignore like most other services do. You think Fiarpoint is going to bring DSL to all the residents? How about those housing communities that live off of an 8 mile dirt road about 10 miles from the nearest CO? Not gonna happen. | |

| Re: Fairpoint Makes Poor First Impression In New England All I can add is Fairpoint jacked my DSL package up, without notice, wothout nothing. Bill came, there it was. So they expect I guess that I'm going to pay $40+ for 2.750 MBPS, since they have Vz's cap on. But already called GWIU, gonna get the max my line can handle, which will be around 4-4.5 Mbps, since I know someone way further up my loop getting 3.8 Solid. And guess what? For a few bucks less!!!! Way to go Fairpoint. And if their business people don't smarten up, they'll realize allot of people can added cable BB to their TV package for around similar cash, = even more defectors.
I would wish them bad luck, but I don't want to see so many people badly impacted, though I have a feeling they'll go down hill and go bankrupt eventually. I'm also curious to see how they do with tech support, b/c anything would be an improvement of Vz, or have I spoken to soon??!! LOL. | |

FairPoint bought our phone company, had a special, 3 months 30% off for a DSL Upgrade from standard or premium to the top level,.... Ok, I fell for it, no charge for the upgrade, until my second bill, first bill showed 30% discount, 2nd 3rd and 4th show a slighter higher that normal cost for the advertised rate of the top speed DSL package, so I guess they @#$@#$ing LIED.....
I guess DEREGULATION is !#@#%@ing GOOD for economy....
