| Re: NO DSL in Arcadia, CA ? FM, Thanks but no thanks!
Yes DSL is an important factor, but it is not important enough to decide where our new office is located. Location, Safety and Pricing are far more important factors then DSL.
Your telling me you will much rather move into a bad neighborhood for faster DSL access? Don't take it personal but wouldn't that be very unlikely? I really don't understand how your brother's DSL problems can add any help to this topic?
My prefix is 626-358-XXXX
I'm sure if I can get enough interest Verizon will do something about it, since this is the biggest industrial area in the city of Arcadia. More business = more $$$ for both the City and Verizon.
Is Verizon available for contact on this board?
Thanks for reading my post and your kind input. | |

| Re: NO DSL in Arcadia, CA ? No I would not consider "bad neighborhoods" solely on the basis that they had the best or closest proximity to the CO...Since I am in a position where I can pick and choose where I will live next I am simply saying that one of the priority items on my list is that I can get broadband without having to fight with the ISP over my distance...
My brother's prefix is 562-634-xxxx in case you want to check it out...but then he's not as "in to" having broadband as I am...

| Re: NO DSL in Arcadia, CA ? With cable, you don't have to fight over distance  I wouldn't have broadband if it wasn't for Adelphia, SBC has been slooooow in getting DSL deployed in Mendocino County, so far, it's only in Ukiah. | |

You are connected to switch [CO (central office)] MNRVCAXG35K which is located at 116 W LIME AVE, MONROVIA, CA 91606 and has rate center as MONROVIA,CA as well. As a result, you are way too far away from CO for any ADSL service.  | |

There is no official Verizon representative in broadbandreports.com/dslreports.com.
However, if you can have most of your neighbors to pledge to subscribe to Verizon business DSL directly which they do charge much higher rates than residential addresses instead of going to resellers like DSLextreme which does not charge higher rate for business addresses then Verizon may consider to install a CO (central office) in your area.
You can ask for the e-mail address of Verizon representative in Verizon own USENET or news groups that only Verizon subscribers have access to in broadbandreports.com/dslreports.com Verizon forum at »Verizon Online DSL It appears to me that the Verizon representative in Verizon own USENET or news groups does have good contact with the right people.
Nevertheless, you would really have to have a lot people pledge to sign up their business DSL before even ask for the e-mail address since I saw so many similar requests without success. After all, Verizon does make good money even businesses use dial-up Internet access with a local access number as Verizon does not offer flat rate business telephone line like SBC. That means even a local call Verizon does charge by minute. No to mention they can sell you T1 for more profit. | |
