Re: Why did our beloved DTVDSL go under...........
My old dtv connection was great for the last year they were in existence. There were problems off and on before that, but in the end, tech support was good and the connection was rock solid.
I thought Hughs was negotiating to merge or take over another satellite company and part of their decision to drop the dsl was based on that.
I don't think technical problems killed them, I think it was business/politics/regulatory issues. |

| I think it was the business situation as well. Or maybe it was just a coincidence they folded up so soon after the Dish Network thing fell through. I was happy with the static IP but towards the end I was losing sync all the time and it rarely happens with Verizon on the same line to the same CO. |

No, it wasn't a concidence. DTV DSL was depending on the Huges merger to go through. But it didn't, the powers that be decided to cut their losses and shutter the doors.
Of course, this is all info we found out after they pulled the plug. No one in that office had any warning. Hell, the telcos didn't have any clue either.
