So, in your winner's list, you need to include e-Loyalty who walked away much richer and un-scathed by their own inability to deliver.

First Bell then provisioning, then tech support, then sales. It must be all Comdisco’s fault for my NO-DSL for 5 months? Yeah that must be it then. The company that poured money into a startup company that couldn't even design correct dsl layouts.
Well, Red is closing by the end of this year. No more 56k, no more dsl, no more suffering of people who want descent service.

Oh by the way, did you stop to check out ALL of the negative reviews of RED on this site?

Give it a look...

You can be as sarcastic as you want about RED, but frankly,
it comes down to top management and their direction.
People are people, they do what they can, as much as they
can, and what they are told to do.
I would be pleased to work with the people I worked with,
I wouldnt blame them a bit. Given a chance, I'll hire every one of them.

Blame COMDISCO, if anyone.
How do you burn "half a billion dollars"?
Buy a small telco startup, pour buckets of money into it,
buy inadequate systems, dont keep track of how often Bell
Atlantic screws you, give the mgmt an open check book,
market the hell out of yourself, dont worry about
efficiency , customers, -then blindfold yourself,
rearrange the furniture and turn out the lights, then RUN
as fast as you can....

And now the winners and losers:

Winners: Nortel ( they sold the huge contract, 33 cities. )
Bell Atlantic ( they sucked RED dry for installs.)
Original Transwire folk (cashed in, then left )
Anyone who worked for RED, and understands
the value of their efforts.

Losers: Whoever buys out them out.
The book value of RED is $375 million, I will
guarantee that it will be sold for an "undisclosed
amount", so low that it will be embarassing to
Comdisco. Try under 200 easy.

Otherwise, good luck to everyone out there that now has
to get a job. Be proud of the job you had. You stuck in
there when things got really rough. Mention Comdisco on your resume, they still have a good reputation out there
despite their inadequencies.
Best wishes,
M.

During that time, I recieved 4 calls back (placed about 30) and signed 7 new contracts. Red employees blamed bell atlantic as well as their own departments for being so incompetent. During that time frame, I was told different things from one customer service rep to another, most of which were lies.

Im just happy no one else has to experience what I and other red customers have.

Good luck finding new jobs "ex Red employees."
