My first, Telocity then DTV was always rock solid consistent and fast.

I wouldn't say "rock solid" ... didn't someone already prove that the Telocity/DTV "brick" floated?!?!

Last time I checked, rocks sank to the bottom!

Sorry, couldn't resist the pun!

OMG, My directvdsl has been down now for over a year! Normally, I'm a very patient guy, but this is just unacceptable. I'm not going to wait much longer. If it's down for another year, by gosh, I'm going to call them!

Hey, I just noticed that mine is down, too!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9098964 Fri, 16 Jan 2004 15:33:10 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9085446 jydub : Hi Hayward, I remember you from the Telocity/DTV days.

Telocity/DTV was Verizon from my house, through the CO and down to the DTV POP in Cambridge.

Covad is on a Verizon leased line, but they have their own DSLAM here in the CO.

Verizon's not bad, but whenever there is the occasional problem it's usually their fault. I've specifically avoided using them as a full solution, but only because I don't have to.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9085446 Thu, 15 Jan 2004 09:56:13 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9072682 Hayward :

:p Ok, now you're going to make me be serious. I love my Covad. I never have to think about it, it's just always there. It's faster and more stable than my old dtv connection.

Now, if was just under 50 bucks, it'd be perfect.

As always... Key Word ;) YOURS

My first, Telocity then DTV was always rock solid consistent and fast. Likely more a Verizon or whoever NH is now issue. (remember with Covad the only Verizon part of connection is literally the line to your house... others you also go through a lot of Verizon data network to get to your ISP POP)

I really don't care for BS as an ISP (BSFA) but their infrastructure most areas is rock solid.

Myself I've moved from DTV to Covad... that is, moved my employment.

I have to send smoke signals to the neighboring hills, where mountain indians chisel my message onto dried tree bark. Then it's carried up to the observatory by pony where the local scientists re-enter my message and post it to the internet. Getting a response takes even longer!

You must be sending your payment to the wrong address. Just send it to my paypal account and I will see that it gets to the right person. Once you start sending the payments it may take a few months to a year to get it hooked back up so dont worry, just keep sending me the payments.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8889532 Thu, 25 Dec 2003 19:05:55 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8879824 jydub : But Geez, I'd be happy to send them my $49.95 a month, but they don't accept it! Maybe I'll try to give them more money. But yessiree bob, if it doesn't come back up in the next few years, I swear by gosh, I'm going to call them and boy then they'll be sorry.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8879824 Wed, 24 Dec 2003 11:09:51 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8879314 rmturner : Why don't you quit complaining? It's probably on your end. Why don't you post a speed test or ask for some tweak help? There are a lot of people here willing to help unless you've decided to be a whiner. They're an excellent company and they try very hard to please the consumer under very difficult conditions, insane govt. regulations, etc. If I started getting disconnected all the time, or my speeds got to dialup level, I'd still send in my $49.95/mo. because I know they try very hard to put out a stable product.

(Either that or I've been lurking the Bellsouth forum for too long)
