Although Verizon's spokesperson may be correct, it may not be a systemic network-wide problem. However, it does seem to be evidence of a systemic management problem.
Are things as bad in Verizon country as they got in Ameritech country? Eventually the various state PUC's had to intervene in Ameritech's service problems.
I find it interesting that the media is willing and eager to jump on stories about technical problems, but you have to drag them kicking and screaming to do stories about the much more severe problems resulting from the ILECs' anti-competitive activities. Sheesh. -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456
