As for Sprint DSL, I loved it, will miss it, but I am not going to go into the reasons for or against it.

The above comment is my own and not that of my employer, its affiliates or in any way to be meant as such.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5081049 Thu, 21 Nov 2002 02:17:53 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5080262 tracyt : Mine with that wonderful ION product is nearly a YEAR.... SAD that such a good ride had to bite the dust.......R.I.P.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5080262 Thu, 21 Nov 2002 00:09:12 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5061925 falkclan : 11/26 was given as the doomsday shutdown date for KC area folks (I'm in Olathe, a suburb)

Mine is still cranking along serving FTP at 768kbps upload
been up 99.999% since April 4th, 2001

best damn service ever, hate to see it go

and I can't speak for all the financials, I do know that Sprint does NOT cook any books, as you see other Telecomm's doing, they (as stated) did a SHITTY job marketing a great product (ION/HSD) but also the ILEC squeeze out, made a CLEC product even that more challenging.

my 2 cents...

my speakeasy 1500/384 will have to suffice, it's fine for gaming on (actually 22ms ping to 3rd hop, which is one of 11 major backbones), so I ping 70 pretty much anywhere in the USA, provided their end is decent via connection and server box.

The service had not been working correctly for months and when I checked today all connectivity was lost.

The 642R modem will go in the closet, on top of the ION IAD boat anchor.

A fantastic service, bungled somehow....]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5059370 Tue, 19 Nov 2002 01:54:44 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5059029 robbin : I would have to question if they were making money. Here in Austin, I could have been the only person on this dslam. I don't know, but there was no marketing. And honestly, it would take a major effort to achieve a market share where you could afford the infrastructure as well as all of the employees. They downsized their service areas in a major way.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5059029 Tue, 19 Nov 2002 00:56:46 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5058933 quaZmoto : Does anyone know the "Real Reason" Sprint ION/BizDSL shut down? They were making money on the Service! Don't They still have the SprintBBD Wireless and the FastConnect DSL?
Did they need a Big Tax Write off because they were "Cookin" the Books on overall Revenue? It just doesn't make sense that you can "make Money by NOT making Money" but maybe that is the new Business Model!
