Re: My directvdsl stinks!

:p Ok, now you're going to make me be serious. I love my Covad. I never have to think about it, it's just always there. It's faster and more stable than my old dtv connection.
Now, if was just under 50 bucks, it'd be perfect.
As always... Key Word  YOURS
My first, Telocity then DTV was always rock solid consistent and fast. Likely more a Verizon or whoever NH is now issue. (remember with Covad the only Verizon part of connection is literally the line to your house... others you also go through a lot of Verizon data network to get to your ISP POP)
I really don't care for BS as an ISP (BSFA) but their infrastructure most areas is rock solid.

| Hi Hayward, I remember you from the Telocity/DTV days.
Telocity/DTV was Verizon from my house, through the CO and down to the DTV POP in Cambridge.
Covad is on a Verizon leased line, but they have their own DSLAM here in the CO.
Verizon's not bad, but whenever there is the occasional problem it's usually their fault. I've specifically avoided using them as a full solution, but only because I don't have to. |

I wouldn't say "rock solid" ... didn't someone already prove that the Telocity/DTV "brick" floated?!?!
Last time I checked, rocks sank to the bottom!
Sorry, couldn't resist the pun!

1 edit | Well now that would depend if you had the original BRICK or the far more bloated (Probably most know) shark fin ... and was the subject of those pictures.
