| Re: The Bad News keeps coming.... Now that is not a very nice thing to say. You should blame the company not the employees. The company hired the people you say are not intelligent, and because of that, it is not the employees fault that they were not properly trained or informed. Based on your grammar skills you don't seem to be to hot yourself. | |

| Re: The Bad News keeps coming.... I would not expect to have perfect grammar, as I am a system administrator, not a english major. Very ignorant assumption if you ask me. The employee's were very unwilling to help or troubleshoot, and some had severe attitude problems. I can say that 2 of the techs, Arthur and Isaac, were friendly, but other than that everyone at Zyan I spoke to loved to make up stories and procrastinate. I am simply implying that in the dsl world, they will not be missed.

Listen Mr. Paper MCSE, for one thing lets get something straight. You base your assumptions on a few conversations with tech support people who may or may not have any latitude in addressing your DSL issue. There are many people involved in delivering service to you. You have your CLEC, ILEC, ISP, Backbone provider, etc... In most cases tech support can only open trouble tickets with these providers. For the ISP, there really is only one point of failure for most of their services. So, if you were anywhere worth your weight as a "Systems Administrator" you would know that 1. DSL should not be used for anything mission critical. 2. If you are using it for anything mission critical than you should have redundancy or fail-over capabilities. 3. Dail-up is a whole lot cheaper and the support is good. Perfect for your 3 computer peer-to-peer network at Buford's Tropical fish and Reptiles.
Get out of my face you Po' dunk paper MCSE. My guess is that you are pissed off because the manager at your pet store made you wait 2 hours on the phone to speak to tech support only to find that you could not intimate the type of problem you were having - 'uh, I caint git my eee-mail-thing-a-ma-jibogger'. You $uck.
Oh, and by the way, the great thing about living in the city is that there are plenty of jobs out there to be had. Unlike your three pet shop town.
I will have a very merry Christmas, Thank you! | |

| Re: The Bad News keeps coming.... Actually the person who posted the remark above about all the techs sucking is true. They know as much about networking as my grandma. The individual above works for a Zyan reseller just like I do. I am also a systems administrator. The excuses that the Zyan techs gave were non-tecnical excuses. I have been on the phone countless times... not just a few times AS HAS EVERYONE ELSE WHO IS A ZYAN RESELLER. You know its true. Your blatant disregard and denial of this problem is probably one of the HUNDREDS OF REASONS WHY ZYAN SUCKS AND HAS FAILED. I dont wish anyone harm or suffering though and i think the statements of the above individual were uncalled for. Im not just an mcse either. I am cisco certified and built the ISP that I work for so I do know what I am talking about. The individual above is also a well certified network engineer not just an mcse... they are usually stupid... usually. | |

| Re: The Bad News keeps coming.... I was just contacted by the ISP I work for regarding my earlier comments (2000-11-28-13:51:00 EDT). I was informed that I do not have permission to represent my ISP in any way. Any comment made was from personal experience and I was wrong in sharing them. I am sure that any person working in the DSL industry has frustrations. I do however want it noted that my comments were in defense of a personal friend whose posting although may have been harsh were rebutted by Zyan employees in a less than professional manner as well. It would probably do us all well to concentrate on repairing what problems exist with DSL and not just engage is a pissing match on this message board. | |

| Unfortunately, even though you have multiple ignorant assumptions, which I would expect from a Zyan employee, I will end this with this: I still have a job. We are still in business. Just to clear one more thing up, I work primarily on Slackware, not anything Microsoft related.

| Re: The Bad News keeps coming.... Mind warped, you work for a reseller, a reseller that is a down stream partner of Zyan. Sh!t flows downstream! If you haven't figured it out yet that you are next. I wouldn't be talking so much trash my friend. Karma is a powerful thing!
Oh, and by the way, I just checked, Livonia, Michigan has 2 pet shops and 1 ISP... working out of a pet shop! | |

If you were half the system administrator you say you are, then you would know that Isaac is the stupidest tech you could ever speak with. He can't even tell the difference between a crossover and a straight cable or their application in computer connectivity, much less about DSL connectivity to your network. I just thought you should know that before you open your mouth. In the future make sure that you actually know what you are talking about. | |
