(remember, this is not confirmed or final, it's just a well informed leak),...</I></BLOCKQUOTE>See any similarities there? Could it be that ev1.net's "source deemed reliable" is DSLR itself?  Or perhaps the same source that "leaked" to DSLR?<br><br>I admit it's interesting to speculate.  But that's all any of this is: speculation.

<description><![CDATA[AR posted : In all probability NP is going down but the situation is so fluid that even ISPs don't really know what's happening. Maybe your ISP sent the email to prepare you for any eventuality. But I personally think that regardless of who buys the NP hardware, NP is dead. Now what the new buyer is going to do is a matter of speculation but NP is gone for sure.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[locas posted : I would hardly call it a rumor, considering it came from my ISP!!!! Now if it had come from someone else, I'd cast it aside, however Ev1.net does not have a history of e-mail rumors to their clients, and there has to be at least some merit to the possiblity if they are sending the same e-mail out to all of their DSL clients.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[anon posted : Its only bad news if you choose to believe that rumour that has not been substantiated with any evidence in the real world. If it is your policy to believe everything you read on the internet, you are going to get disappointed once in a while<br>:-)<br><br>Good luck to you, and I wouldn't start ordering your dial up just yet.<br><small>--<br>"I'm going to set it down on the strip"<br></small>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[locas posted : I received this e-mail this morning from my DSL provider ev1.net!! Anyone who uses Northpoint for DSL should be prepared to dial-up, or switch to another DSL or cable internet provider!!<br><br>Locas<br><br>IMPORTANT:<br>You are receiving this message because you have DSL service with Everyones Internet and that DSL service is provided through Northpoint.<br> <br>You may, or may not be aware, that Northpoint declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy in mid-January with the plan to find a buyer who would purchase the company and keep the system active. There is a court hearing today that will determine if this will be the case of if the company's assets will be liquidated and the network taken down.<br> <br>Until early this week, all indications were that there was a buyer that would buy Northpoint and keep the company alive. We have since learned, (from a source deemed reliable but we cannot be sure) that at least one leading bidder plans to purchase the hard assets and shutter the network. The effect of the latter possibility is that EV1 could no longer provide you with DSL.<br> <br>Let me remind everyone that, as of this moment, EV1 is still under contract with Northpoint for your lines and you are still under contract with EV1 for your line.<br> <br>Later this morning in California, there will be a court hearing regarding this matter. We will provide an additional update once this hearing has ended.<br> <br>I would like to assure you that we are participating in the Northpoint bankruptcy process, have filed a number of motions, and are seeking to protect the interests of our company and our subscribers.<br> <br>EV1 is committed to assisting our subscribers through this process. We have assembled a team which began work this morning. We are hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. <br> <br>In the event of a shutdown of the Northpoint Network, we will provide each DSL subscriber with a temporary dial-up account at no cost to ensure you have some form of Internet service during the transition. We are also negotiating with several companies who offer competing broadband technology to offer you reduced or eliminated installation costs, expedited installation, and a simplified ordering process.<br> <br>The above is all of the information that we have at the present time. After the court hearing, we will provide you with an additional update. <br> <br>For up-to-the-minute status updates, you may check www.ev1dsl.net . We will post the information here as well as send it in email form.  In the event that the Northpoint network will be shuttered, we will provide you with a telephone number to reach our DSL Response Team direct who will be able to assist you. <br> <br>Hoping for the best,<br> <br>Robert Marsh<br>Head Surfer<br>Ramhs@ev1.net]]></description>
