DSL Providors

[Ann Parsons]

Hi all,

Excellent post this.  I dunnow what Frontier is doing with their
equipment but they do not know how to operate it.  Frontier is
notorious for having unreliable service when it comes to computer
communications.  I was with their dialup some time back, and they
didn't even know how to operate *it* properly.  I should have known
not to get myself stuck with this garbage.  

I researched the sisco 677, which is what I have.  The company has
chosen to use the web interface rather than the serial one.  when I
had the timerity to ask them about this, they said no, it was
impossible to do this for me.  I had to use the web interface.

If it had only been the access issue, I might have let it go, grumbled
and complained about resetting the DSL and all, but having eleven
outages in three months is unacceptable.  

thing is, it wasn't my ISP's fault, it was Frontier's fault.  My ISP,
Eznet, bought into Frontier DSL and they are selling it.  I didn't
want to change my email address, so I went with DSL, thinking that it
was the best thing to do.  Well, you know what happened.  I'm always
on the net.  I download large files.  I need to get my email.  I will
be teaching online.  I can not have a service which is unreliable.  

So, I am switching to cable.  I trust that it will be OK.  I am paying
the extra money in order to keep my ISP.  I decided that my peace of
mind and lack of frustration are worth the money it is going to take
to keep both things.  

Ann P.
