New World's Speed Record for rejection?
Guess what? Verizon can't find us!
I think maybe, just maybe, trying through Covad isn't going to do squat.

| Chip,
Verizon is the damn problem. I've now tried 5 different providers and I've suddenly gone from Northpoint's 12,000 feet to Verizon's 18,000-19,000 feet. They won't even install ISDN because they claim I'm too far. READ ISDN, NOT IDSL (which I also can't get because of Verizon).
I had 416/416 SDSL service and, at one time, was at 784/784 -- I ask you . . . how the hell did I get 700+ at 18,000 feet. IT IS NOT TECHNICALLY POSSIBLE. Add to that that I have no load coils and it is perfectly clear that I'm well inside 18,000 feet.
I'm working with Verizon right now on this issue, but I'm leaning toward a lawsuit. I have literally talked to 15 different Verizon reps and have gotten at least 10 different answers. The best one is that I never really had DSL and that I must have just had a fast modem connection. That's the best yet. . .
By virtue of their actions, Verizon is preventing me from any competing service. I find providers willing to provide the service, regardless of the distance, and Verizon refuses them a clean loop. They refuse to 'hot swap' the Northpoint line because my old ISP is in Chapter 11 -- Verizon claims it cannot legally touch the line and the old ISP will not (really cannot) release it.
Sadly enough, I've come to the opinion that they cannot be trusted or believed. Heck, I'd take their ADSL service if they'd only allow me to. |

Anon | I'm in with you on a lawsuit if you're interested. I'm sure we could get enough people out of here for a class-action to attempt to force Verizon to allow new DSL through.
The death of Northpoint and the assumption of AT&T of their equipment seems to have emboldened them to undertake a forced "long knife" action against their CLEC competition and their would-be end users.

| I also have been going around with Verizon and there inability to get my line free from the Northpoint problem, delt with this for 45 days trying to get Dsli up and running without any luck. One of the DSL people from Verizon even told me to change my number and the problem would be gone. Wrong answer still took about a week from that to get the dsl issue cleared up. As of now stuck on 56K and waiting till the end of the month when Comcast @home is up and running in my area. But would love to talk more about class action again Verizon. Without fail the worse people I ever had to deal with. |
