Santa Clarita, CA | Re: Thanks .... They get bought out and in like 1 or 2 days, implement this stupid redirect 404 thing. What are the genius's going to think of next. I bet that the good reputation DSL Extreme had gets shot down within 6 months. | |

Duluth, GA | Re: DSLExtreme Scraps Redirect Service Agree. I am very surprised to see a company actually listen AND respond to its customers, especially when it involves removing something that will generate money for the company. | |

| Pump it up? To me it almost looks like all you have to do as an ISP is first do something like DSLx did, get the publicity, then stop doing it and making sure it gets noticed.
I have seen too many sudden reviews of DSLx and threads about DSLx to not be suspicious.
Works though, until this week I never even heard of DSLx. | |

| It's interesting that all of this scepticism and insinuations that this was merely a public relations ploy appears to be coming from those who are NOT DSL Extreme subscribers.
I also would like to point out that the recent events (i.e. DNS redirects and subsequent termination of that feature upon strong, vehement negative customer reaction)is definitely NOT an example of a public relations "ploy" or attempt to build attention. But for DSL Extreme's prompt, positive handling of the situation, such a tactic could have been disastrous. The company's response however, is an example of effective, intelligent public relations and crisis management. | |

You do not know what went on during those tense negotiations anymore than I do. Or do you?
