Re: Is Rhythms shutdown imminent?

We were apparently one of the lucky few, that happy band of brothers, who were only down a couple of weeks between NorthPoint and Rhythms. While we were down, our ISP provided us with a dialup alternative. Not fast, but at least we could get our email.

Now, I am seeing a wide range of speed readings (from the DSLreports.com and MSN bandwidth meters). Our connect went as slow as 14 kps yesterday. Tech support at our ISP says that Rhythms is "is having capacity problems with taking over all of the NorthPoint connections and is in the process of adding additional DS3 capacity. This problem should fix itself real soon." We will see....

Meanwhile, I am keeping an eye out for alternatives if Rhythms goes belly up. Maybe I can talk the bosses into Sprint Broadband Direct?

I hear the plan on shutting down many locations. Big locations will stay up. WHat this does is they can cut their workforce in half save money and have the ISP's pay them money for the service
