Re: No Covad linesharing on Qwest measured lines?
Nope, it is a new POTS order that completed a little over a month ago. I had no POTS line for over a year at my house, was running only on a naked DSL line from Qwest with VoIP from Broadvox.
AT&T/Covad have a good promotion going on linesharing DSL, so I ordered the measured POTS line with Qwest a month ago and got it on a separate loop from the DSL, at my request, since my intention was to order DSL with AT&T/Covad on that POTS line and once it got connected, drop the Qwest naked DSL line.
Now Qwest is saying to Covad that linesharing is not available on my POTS line unless I change my 'class of service' which is measured service right now, to 'normal billed' service, which I understand is the non-measured residential service. What is irritating is that if I call Qwest directly, I can get DSL with them. I'm really considering writing to the PUC about this. I can't think of any technical reason not to allow Covad DSL on my line, and the fact that they are offering theirs supports it.
