caraigOkay, just a quick update. Thanks to a very good friend, I am borrowing a dialup connection but I don't want to hog it. So I'll keep this quick-ish.
My most recent trouble ticket with Verizon -- to wit, "Please get my DSL connection working again, okay-I-love-you-buh-bye!" -- was closed earlier today because I am 1850 feet from the Central Office. Or something to that effect. The ticket has been re-opened, and I will be getting a callback from them this Friday. Greybunny, I think I am starting to feel something of how you felt wen you went through that trials of EDVO a few months ago.
Anyway, I have a feeling that this will work out reasonably well. I am not going back to that mockery of service that Time-Warner was, which means that if they say my DSL was imaginary then I'll be looking at other options for the time being. If it comes to it, I really hope ISDN in my area isn't as expensive as it used to be way back in the dark ages of broadband, though part of me would actually look forward to breaking out the coal-fired modem.
Anyway! More updates as they come in. Pax.

Date: 2006-09-28 10:36 pm (UTC)I'm pretty sure they're going to say 'Tough luck, guy' and just refuse to get DSL going for me again on that half-arsed excuse of 'You're too far from the CO.' (Then why did it work BEFORE?) Then I'll have to consider my options.
