Anon | The joys of Nevada Bell DSL I've had NVBell DSL for about a month now, and other than a few hiccups, the service has been great. When the equipment was installed, the service wasn't turned on for another 2 weeks. A week after the service was turned on it got turned off after another tech called me and told me he had turned it on. Apparently, turning it on twice had turned it off (very confusing) about a week after that it went out and when it came back up (the next morning) my speed was capped at 384/128k, apparently NVBell was capping everyones speed at this. A quick call to the ASI techs (who do a REALLY good job - esp. Dan) got my line back up to 1.5/128k. Since then I havent had any problems. I am located in Incline Village at the north shore of Tahoe if it matters, I am about 11,000ft from the central office and am getting incredible speeds. Despite all the talk of pacbell having tons of problems, the service here is great so far (NVbell is a sister company of Pacbell, they use the same equipment, lines..etc.. both companies are owned by parent SBC)
Equipment I was given was the standard Kingston NIC and the SpeedTouch Home modem. I am using RASPPPOE instead of Enternet, as far as I am concerned, enternet sucks. Anyone who needs ASIs provisioning dept. number let me know. |

I also live in Incline Vllage but my service is just the opposite. ASI claims there is no cap but my speed is 77Kbps average.

When you only have a hand full of Users, it should work all the time.
