Happy Birthday to the gals!
I went from Cox to Verizon back to Cox. Verizon was horrid, but I've had no
problem with Cox on the second iteration ... I think I may have had one
brief outage over the last year.

Hi all -
We've been using Verizon (now Frontier) DSL at RT for years with
minimal problems (other than speed) but we're now on our second outage in 3
weeks - most likely due to rain. The first outage seemed to fix itself
before the date they said someone would show up. I'm not prepared to wait
a week or more and/or hope that magic will happen again.
So I guess its time for (gulp) Cox. Frying pan to fire? More costly
but higher speed and probaby same shitty service. Except that cable users
probably far outnumber DSL users and probably get their service fixed more
quickly. (???)
I assume y'all use Cox ... so what is your experience? Is there any
other choice? We don't need cable TV but if it only comes bundled with
Internet that's fine. Looks like it'll cost twice what we pay for DSL
($38.) I'd like to keep the DSL phone number though and perhaps use it for
the iPhone that I don't yet have. Can't give up a number like 569-9999!
Unless Frontier won't let me transfer it to Cox.
(Happy birthday to Tara and Penelope today!)
Cheers,
Z&T
