Sounds like my story...Cable isn't avaiable where I live, so when bazillion sent me an ad in the mail saying DSL was available at the whopping speed of 640 kbps or so, I decided to go for them. Well , first, I found that the speed in MY area was only 144...now, they've taken more than th promised 30 to 45 days...at least installation is free, and I've been getting there free long distance and dialup service without paying anything, but it takes forever still...
All of this isn't really covad and bazillion's fault, but it's mainly because USWest had to do somework on my phoneline to "optimize" it for data. ANd they haven't putin a new dataline after that, so covad cant do anything
I would get cable if it were available.
