| News on Zhonka, 2010/03/17 I was doing a web search and I found this:
»olyblog.net/zhonka-0
Copy & paste of their reply:
Dave left to move back to Canada five years ago. We tried to continue on, but our technician died tragically (at the age of 33) this spring.
I know the service and response has sucked increasingly over the past couple of years. All attempts to resolve this have failed, and I've finally decided to make sure that all DSL customers retain connectivity by switching roles with one of our wholesale customers. The DSL circuit switch is complete, so if you have Zhonka DSL and are having troubles, please call and leave a message. We *are* listening to them and trying to get any straggling accounts that are experiencing problems working again.
FWIW, we tried really hard, but never got enough traction to self-sustain, and with the failure of the Telecommunications act of 1996 (Thanks to George Bush's FCC who defines internet access competition as "one phone company, one cable company",) it was impossible for us to continue.
Again, I apologize for the crappy service some of you have received. I had to take a job to pay my mortgage, and there is basically no-one left to do the work, which is why we've switched all customers over to TelebyteNW (another "semi"-local ISP based in Bremerton,) who deserve the chance to keep your business. I suspect you'll get much better response now that the switch is almost complete.
So, having said that, if you got crappy service from Zhonka, I'll buy you a beer. If you were charged incorrectly (for service that was not rendered), I'll work to get it refunded. If you are still a customer and your CC was charged a large amount, because you hadn't been charged for some time, I'll refund some of it.
FYI, we're still supporting Olyblog, at the cost of about $75/month for server hosting, and will continue to do so under whatever banner / entity ends up carrying on the VSP business we have.
As DaveO would say, "Keep your beverages cool, chillax, and keep on chooglin'"

1 edit | I can verify this. As far as I can tell, zhonka.net is essentially no more. All zhonka customers are now Telebyte NW customers. Apparently zhonka dropped the ball on handing off their customers to Telebyte, so if you're a zhonka.net customer, I would HIGHLY recommend calling Telebyte and verifying your account and billing info! Don't call zhonka. There is no one there. They were suppose to forward their phone to Telebyte, but never did. :/
