To sum it up, they haven't existed in over a year, so you need not worry about staying away from them!

| SprintION is gone. The ION product itself is gone and has been replaced by other offerings. My line stayed up 6 months longer than I was told and the day it went down I cried. I had the 4 digital phone lines and 8MBps SDSL for 9 months. Flipping Fantastic!!!! The best service I ever had. No connection problems. Five calls, at the most, to tech support with basic questions. They were always calling me to see how I was doing, which was great. This was until the Feds let Sprint pull the product because it was easier to quit than to fight for their legal rights to access which the Feds were not backing up. They'll be back with a similar but more expensive, less speedy product.
Now we are left with BS speeds and ADSL connections at huge prices. We may never see a legitimate product ever again for what is advertised as "High Speed" which is barely faster than dialup. I can't get a stable 1.5MBps ADSL connection over the same ION lines to save my life and I'm 3381 feet from the CO. I am told that the service is best effort. Well at 3381 feet, they're (Covad) not trying real hard. Speakeasy says that they can give me 3mb/786k using the CLEC that I have now and my current CLEC/ISP can't. Hmmmmm? | |
