My latest quote for a new DSL connection is 42 days. T1s are 6-8 weeks. Bigger pipes are 2-6 months for the fastest response, many cases are longer.
Back to business failures, the DSL world is looking rocky at best. Rythms isn't looking very solid and neither is Covad. Some of the NorthPoint customers are not going with either, electing to go with the local RBOC instead (despite the hassles and long lead-times). What many businesses really need is true multi-homing. <snip>
So, if people picked better providers, they wouldn't need to multihome. You feel you need to multihome, because you keep picking DSL, which just isn't a good choce for "mission critical applications".
