 | reply to HR Watch that they don't force you to take on a live phone line to get back your dsl, I've heard they've done away with dryloops and its once again a requirement to get dsl service again.  |

 HR join:2013-01-08 New York, NY | The area I live in wasn't affected by Sandy as far as I know. I had service immediately after power was restored (pretty much right after the blackout ended on 11/2) until December 28th.
It looks like the exchange cable that is being repaired is located near the Verizon building in lower Manhattan, which was flooded during Sandy. |
