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.
SBC/Amth problems were|are in the POTS arena. Verizontal seems able to handle POTS; it's xDSL they fall on their nose over.
Actually, Verizon is hopeless for any service OTHER than POTS. Whether it's DSL, T1, ISDN, etc., if it isn't POTS, it's not important to them. I had a T1 that got pulled apart weekly 'cause the guys on the poles with the test sets didn't hear dial tone, and needed pairs. They apparently didn't know what those funny "DATA" tags were. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel Senie dts@senie.com Amaranth Networks Inc. http://www.amaranth.com
