Covad On The Mend

ewhac writes "The San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that Covad, who filed for bankruptcy protection last year, is slowly regaining strength. With $246 million in cash, Covad claims it has enough to carry it to profitability. They've also struck a deal with AOL to provide high-speed connectivity to AOL customers. The battle isn't over, though, as Pacific Bell continues to undercut Covad's offerings. Covad is effectively Pacific Bell's only remaining competitor for DSL service. As a happy Covad customer through Speakeasy.net, I'm pleased I won't be forced into PacBell's or AT&T's hands any time soon."

Speakeasy & Covad

[bdowne01]

I was a completely happy customer with Speakeasy.net DSL in my old apartment. Until I moved...

For some reason Speakeasy.net just couldn't figure out how to cancel my service. It took them nearly 5 months to figure it out and it cost me quite a bit of $$ in the meantime.

Overall, I was darn happy with the service. It never had connectivity problems.

The only suggestion I can make is: 1) Don't move. and 2) Don't cancel.

If you follow those you should be just fine :)

Re:Covad good, Speakeasy not so good
