Re: *** ADMIN: Probable web site outage!

Amen,

I have been dropped by Covad/Bluestar, switched to Connectsouth and now
Connectsouth is bankrupt and I could lose service at any time.   I am in
the process of switching over to a dedicated T1 with one of the major long
distance/Internet providers.   In most cases it takes at least 30 days to
get a new circuit installed.   I would agree that unless the DSL is
provided by the local Telco I would stay away.   The service worked great
and was inexpensive (299/month for 1.2Mb/s) but the long term future of
many of these providers is questionable.    Dedicated T1 access has really
gone down in price over the last couple of years.   Most of the quotes that
I got for T1 service were about $1000 per month, including the local loop.
