Disappointment After Disappointment.....

I've used Bellsouth DSL for the past 6, almost 7, years and have had only one problem. Lightning once fried my modem. They replaced it for free that same day I called!:)
I have no personal problems with the company, but after all these stories I have read here in the past 6 months, I may be cancelling my services altogether and getting everything (including phone service) thru the cable company.

Good move on your part but switching to your cable provider is aken to jumping out of a frying pan only to realize that your new home is just another frying pan by another name.

Before you make your decision, just be sure to realize just how biased the reporting and comments are around here. It used to be better, but you'll notice a common thread of bashing anything even remotely related to incumbents. A few years ago I used to really value the info here, but now I mostly read it for comic relief (especially anything written by Karl Bode.)

Incumbents surely aren't perfect, but it almost seems like people around here think the "little guy" provides service out of the goodness of his heart. In reality, the CLECs and small VOIP providers in the world would all use big-company tactics in a heartbeat if they had that power. It's about profit for everyone. Get used to it and go with the provider that gives you the best service - large or small.

You have a very good point here. I will consider it as one strike out of three.

Re: Disappointment After Disappointment.....

Stay with your provider based on your own personal exp. If the price is fair and the service good stay. I promise you that you will be able to find dirt on what ever company you move to.

Corps are greedy by their nature. Greed drives are economy good or bad. A business that is for anything above proffit is not a business.
