Re: CenturyLink predictably disrupting my service...? said by NormanS:e) A local business on a pair in the same binder with your pair is uploading a massive volume of "end-of-day" financial data. An SBC tech offered that as a weirdness in his DSL repair experience. Thank you for that, but it doesn't make a service disruption that occurs every day okay. CenturyLink is still not providing reliable networking for its customers.
Yesterday, the interruption lasted for about 1 minute only, but still within the same time frame. |

Then call them and have them get it fixed? |

It's nothing to do with "reliable networking". These things happen in broadband, since at some point it's all a shared connection.
And if CenturyLink is your "only option" in your area, that means the DSLAM is really loaded as that's all that's available to people.
It's like here in Phoenix, Cox Cable makes agreements with apartment complexes so the residents are not allowed to order CenturyLink for even POTS service, so the Cable Internet in those places are just terrible since the node connecting 200+ apartments cannot handle the influx of peak demand between VoIP, Internet, and Digital Cable. That's why i research any place i move too to ensure i have options before moving there so i do not end up stuck in one of those situations.
For me, CenturyLink paired with Dish Network has been 10x more reliable than cable, and a lot cheaper to boot! |

I have no standing to complain about poor service to CenturyLink; only you can do that. Streetlights, neighbor's treadmill, whatever. You take that information to CL. If, then, they blow you have, that is poor service.

He's not even complaining about congestion, which would at least be an issue I could understand him complaining about. He just wants to bitch and not actually do anything to get it fixed. Because, you know, CenturyLink is out to get him (and just him)! :P

Comcast is BAD, there's a reason CL was able to sell every single ADSL2+/VDSL2 port on their DSLAM here!). When you're on an Ethernet-fed DSLAM CL is perfect. |

| Well i was comparing with Cox Cable. I was paying them $180/mo for 25/5 internet and basic cable with whole home DVR. Dish set me up for $56/mo for a hopper/joey system, hbo & showtime, top channel package, and 40/5 CenturyLink DSL service for $30/mo so around $100/mo cheaper in reality. |
