kudos:3 | said by Mr Matt: How do they expect to deliver Bonded 25Mbps DSL Service. Easy.. kinda... with the amount of people bailing from land-line service, (for cellular or Voip based services) they shouldn't have a problem bonding up to 4 pairs of copper even, if they had to.. I'm sure there are plenty of free lines out there.
Not sure of the rules these days, and I speak only of California, but the phone company was required, at their expense, to provide up to 4 phone lines per customer at no "special charges assessed to the customer"... I know Minnesota, one of their states, has the same rule.
I have a feeling Century link is going to largely become more of a data centric based communications provider over that of a more traditional phone provider in the coming years. Wireless phone service is quickly becoming priced close to that of an unlimited POTS line anyway and I'm sure will be getting cheaper and cheaper as the years come. | |

| | | said by Mr Matt:  If you review the CenturyLink Forum, you find many customers here in Lake County, Florida and other areas that CenturyLink serves, complaining about the inability of CenturyLink to deliver the speeds, subscribers are paying for and to provide reliable DSL service? How do they expect to deliver Bonded 25Mbps DSL Service. I spoke to a contractor today working at the big box / switch on SR 44. He told me that he had just about finished the install of all the equipment for 25 Mbps service in our area of Lake County and should be "throwing the switch" soon for that speed availability. | |

kudos:1 | Re: Here in Naples said by tstolze:I called this morning to check if/when availability would be. The rep didn't seem to tech oriented. She did state that it would be available to a broader area this summer. I was surprised when I heard it was here, I was no f'ing way! Then I someone linked this
www.centurylink.com/25florida
I couldn't believe it when they said I could! | |

| | | | | | | How far are you from the CO? Just curious because I can only get about 6Mbps and I'm 8600 ft away. Does that sound about right? My up speed is the same though. | |

|
| | | | | | | | | Re: Here in Naples You can tell by going here:
»www.telcodata.us/telcodata/telco
Then getting the address for your CO and plugging that into Google Maps. I'm actually not sure how to see how many feet it in in Google Maps but I bet there is a way. | |

But the one at 5.9 miles, she said I was running out of that. I will call to confirm tonight. | |

| The great northwest (FL) probably won't see this :( I had 3M DSL for the stint for my stint with them... I enjoyed it but it was getting rather slow for me with some timeouts. I decided to go to Comcast (and it has been OK so far) for 8/1 cable internet....
Out of curiosity, I decided to see what's available at my apartment. To my disappointment, only 1.5M/512K is available (I canceled my 3.0 DSL on 3/29)... I had that once, and I would never go back to 1.5. | |
