Rio Rico, AZ | brief outage and difficulty with error message This will be an abbreviated comment since I posted a lengthy one yesterday and found that somehow it did not get posted. It seems to have been lost.
I had a negative experience where I tried to hook up a couple of nights ago (I was on the road showing someone that we could hook up from their home). It went fine until the software updated and restarted. I was then unable to hook up for about 15 minutes. Finally I was able to hook up and things functioned fine again, except for a nagging error message upon each connection.
Calls yesterday to Slingshot were met by a busy signal, both in the morning and once in the afternoon. So, clearly they are a small company and this is a drawback. I only hope that others didn't have more than a brief inconvenience. If their phone was busy all day, I fear that others might have had worse difficulties than I did. I will update my review to reflect this somewhat negative experience once I have time, and once I can verify that my posts to dslreports are not being lost. |

| The software update apparently added some new features including an easier to check data counter (although I doubt I'll even come close to 5 Gb...that's a real lot of data). Didn't get the hook-up problem but did get the annoying error message for a few days until they issued a patch that got rid of that...apparently there was a minor bug in their software update. The "what's new" menu option brings up details on the original software update and the bug fix a few days later.
On DSL Reports posted messages dissapearing, that might be due to a time-out from taking a while to compose the message...I usually get around this problem on various message boards by highlighting the text and using the copy command to save my post to the buffer before I actually attempt to post it. Can always paste in the message if something goes awry. |
