Have you not seen me in chat rooms and I have been a little scarce around the board lately, well F-U Verizon DSL.

My great DSL modem is now operating at a 33.6K modem level and after an two and a half hours with technical support (that is not an exaggeration) they still have no idea what the problem is. They now have upgraded my problem to Group B. I feel soooo special. Now they go out to check my phone line.

Here is an idea, since it just happen all of sudden, I NEED A NEW DSL MODEM. But nnnoooo that is at the Group D level.

Here is a laugh for all you techies, on a speed test an application of 500KBytes took 245.25 seconds. WOW that is flying!

Well originally verizon was sucking so much for me but now it is doing great and giving me near their advertised rates. I have heard of Verizon not being good for a lot of people though.

If you go here Visit this Website, it will give you a "report card" of sorts on most major DSL providers. When broadband became a reality for me, I had seriously looked into Verizon DSL (hell they had a do it yourself kit available), but everything I read about them from current users was STAY AWAY. AM, you sound like one of the lucky ones. I decided to go with Roadrunner cable, and in the 6 months that I've had it, its only been down once for a few hours, and my speeds have pretty much been consistent (and fast as hell).

If its a possibility JBA, look into getting out of the Verizon deal, maybe try another DSL provider, or consider cable. theres always going back to dialup (that old gag).

hornygoatweed23 thanks for the link. I might have to look into a new provider if they can't fix my problem.

Also on Horny's link, you can get a speed test to check the upload and download times of your Modem. Click on the "Tools" sidebar, and click "Speed Test". This is the place where the Cablevision techies checked my modem when i was having problems with it.
