I've been a Sovernet user for years. Despite the fact that they lease those lines (last I knew) they havent had a sliver of the troubles FairPoint has. I am happy to be a Sovernet user.
I dont know if their support is outsources since they were bought up by a different company and moved from that cute road-fork office in Bellows Falls, though.
I often said if they dicked me around with support I'd drag them into Nick's down the street and "change" their minds, but, to their ultimate and pleasing credit, Ive never even been frustrated with them. I recommend Sover to everyone in the area.
Over the source of this summer, two Vermont areas have lost 911 service overnight with FairPoint having a lax attitude about fixing it. The first was an unspecified technical error limiting the Grand Isle region to calling out to one exchange, effectively nixing 911. The second incident involved a line breaking, cutting service to the town of Fair Haven completely. Despite many calls, FairPoint said it could wait until morning.
On top of this is an abundance of service outages and billing errors which, despite what they say, still persist. I truly hope the three states' PSB's kick this joke of a company out of New England for good.
I am glad for this. That major fork is not what we need right now. One unified, open standard is the way to go for the web.
People can piss and moan all they want about the drawbacks, but this does nothing. If it is a problem, push for HTML to integrate the advantages XHTML had over it.

In central Vermont, I've gone from 2 (CBS and PBS) to 1.4 (4 digital PBS's). When I just watched analog I didn't even use an antenna. My TV picked it up fine. Now, with a dipole, I get just the 4 PBS stations; with no antenna, I get nothing.

New marketing ploy?
Share holders will get, in addition to cash, .75something of a Disney share for every Marvel share they owned.
My spider sense is tingling. Something bad is about to happen.

Win is not a strong enough word.
I suppose this is a lesser evil next to the, "Nuke them before they nuke us," mentality.

Oh that would be excellent!
I think this is a very good idea.

That's what beta software is for.
Mac and Linux support are promised for final release. And yes, it is Q3. It is Q3 for free and in a browser with leaderboards and such.
I miss CLOSED beta already. At least then I could get in.
These will be great once Cybot (aka SkyNet, aka The Matrix) takes them over.

"GINO" Cylon Centurion vs. T-800
I give my money to the Centurion.
And we will all just watch as SkyNet, The Matrix and Cylons duke it out for human enslavement and/or annihilation rights.

Frakking water tower!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH
Is it expensive and/or legal to set up a repeater (as some do with WiFi) on my own property to extend a broadcast's range?

...and that's when he stepped in the path of the tank. We'll miss him.
May they please be nailed to the proverbial (and maybe literal) wall now?
