 Jerry @spmodem.washington.e | you were lucky...I believe i ordered the same day as you. Qwest (formerly USWest)consists of a bunch of fools who can't install a quality (by bazillion/covad standards) data line. Qwest claims to have been removing certain things from my phoneline that are bad for data transmission, but they are really taking there time (more than a month). Bazillion has been patient and explained everything I wanted to hear, and I haven't paid them a dime yet. I'm getting freel ong distance and dialup, but I still wish the DSL would come...
said by babylac: i ordered IDSL thru Bazillion.com on 8-12-2000 and voila on 8-14-2000 my order was accepted by covad. and then by 8-30-2000 the pacbell guy installed the outside line to make idsl possible for my house. a week later i got a email from covad confirm Covad DSL Service Date: 9/7/2000 between 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. they will stop by and install inside wire and setup my PC. i had physical therapy on my ACL injury on that day. by suprise the covad guy showed up at my house when i left for 1hr therapy session at 11:30am. when i got back home he just finished the wiring and setup flowpoint 114-16 router. so i test out my laptop first by remove all network setting and check for dynamic ip...so i was on and happily ever after the speed come out not that bad for what i can get out of IDSL. it range from 120 to 140kbs. down stream seem to be slower than upstream but who would care. it faster than so co 56k - always come down to 28.8 or less. beside all of these idsl stuffs i got 400 free call to usa and canada from bazillion. what's a deal and way to go bazillion. they also have refer a friend rebate so use my userid as qpham76 to get your $50 sign up rebate when you mention my name so i can get $50 too.
