Tomas, which provider are you going to next? I'm trying Cyberonic but I have to wait for Sprint to clear the line. I got a second line thru Qworst but it had a load coil on it that prevented me from getting DSL on it. |

I am a Sprint Employee who is disconnecting customers. Apparently there was a problem with the automated script used to cancel everyone and we now need to do manual disconnects for those customers the script didn't work for. So if everyone who still has service please post your H6 number so we can you off the network as fast as possible. We really need your help here! Thanks in advanced! |

Leander, TX | The faster you get everyone disconnected, the sooner you will be out of a job. Sorry, but I believe in keeping people employed. I will now do my part here by not helping.  |

If I hadn't worked for Sprint last year I would have thought this a joke. Having had worked for Sprint, this could actually be for real! Sprint never could get anything automated to work. |

Sasbns: I am going with Cyber also once i get a landline installed. I dont know who provides the local loop tho. Hopefully not qwest.
But in the mean time, I bought a Richochet modem and will be wireless. Its slower than dsl but it works no problems.
I wish i could get cogent fiber. I could come up with 1k a month. Maybe sell it to my neigborhood. |

| I never got a letter here in Seattle, although a Sprint rep said that I'd be decommissioned 9/15 when I called to ask (around the time people here started getting letters). Of course, I never got a letter than ION would be cancelled either; I only found out when I didn't have phones anymore (and no, sorry, we can't port your numbers out either).
I ordered a Worldcom loop from Cyberonic that was turned up last week; if it turns out that Sprint isn't cancelling us this time around, I'm sure they will cancel us eventually, so we might as well have the backup connection in place. I hate paying $170 a month for connectivity, but it's preferable to continually rearchitecting my network with almost no notice (as I've done TWICE now... once when ION was cancelled, and this time around). |

| You still will have sync for a few days, possibly longer. The LSR (which is just the order to cancel the circuit)still has to be processed by the ILEC, which usually takes a few days. So your loop is still there and the circuit is still up, so therefore you still have sync. However you don't have any connectivity because Sprint canceled your PVC. |

| Well they pulled the plug in Chicago 9:01 PM CST 17-SEP-02.
Now what to do with this dedicated line and Zyxel 652 Router, that Cyberonic/Worldcom says they cannot utilize.
They told me @ 12000 ft out.. I wont reach 1.5/768.
Sux.. I was at 4.1/864.
Looks like ATTBI @ 1.5/256 for now until they go tierd, then I can go 3.0/384.
Heh , I wish I could go back 4 years in time, when it was 10/1.1 for $35/month
What progress we made.

I died is LA last night (9/17) too.
I placed my Speakeasy order today. They have a GREAT interface for account management.
I picked them over Covad, because Covad insists on giving you a box that does nat/dhcp that you plug you systems into. You can't be directly on the internet with them.
And Cyberonic is a great deal, but doesn't support my CO. |
