Re: Earthlink DSL Speed over Qwest / Covad line

I was assuming that maybe Qwest would connect closer to the house. I am still confused that Qwest says we are good for 20MBps - they told me there should not be a distance problem
It is possible that Qwest may be able to provide you with service from a DSLAM equipped RT, rather than from the CO. Covad's DSLAM is usually located only in the CO and they do not have access to the ILEC's RT boxes.

thanks for the feedback. Funny enough, yesterday the line ran without any problems - and at night, EL called and asked whether the connection was better. They stated that Covad had 'done something' - but they could not tell me what. What can they have done? I would like to get to a point where I understand what is going on instead of spending days getting the runaround and then 'a miracle happens'.

Welcome to my world. I can't begin to tell you how many times that I have seen both DSL and T1 circuits mysteriously stop malfunctioning after a telco tech simply does an intrusive test and then puts the circuit back on-line. A miracle fix is as good as a known fix as long as it is really fixed.
