Re: 8 days until the end.
11/26 was given as the doomsday shutdown date for KC area folks (I'm in Olathe, a suburb)
Mine is still cranking along serving FTP at 768kbps upload
been up 99.999% since April 4th, 2001
best damn service ever, hate to see it go
and I can't speak for all the financials, I do know that Sprint does NOT cook any books, as you see other Telecomm's doing, they (as stated) did a SHITTY job marketing a great product (ION/HSD) but also the ILEC squeeze out, made a CLEC product even that more challenging.
my 2 cents...
my speakeasy 1500/384 will have to suffice, it's fine for gaming on (actually 22ms ping to 3rd hop, which is one of 11 major backbones), so I ping 70 pretty much anywhere in the USA, provided their end is decent via connection and server box.
