&gt;
&gt;
&gt; I'm in Tucker and I also use Speakeasy. I also have some other DSL
&gt; modem's around. Email me off list and we can try and hook up.
&gt;
&gt; The last no-synch issue I had with Speakeasy was caused by BellSouth
&gt; f*cking up the connection in their switch. One BS (good acronym) finally
&gt; got it figured out that THEY had goofed, they put on a fox and hound
&gt; set, found the correct pair of wires back at the switch and the DSL was
&gt; on in 30 seconds. They seem to be having documentation issues (they laid
&gt; off all the older, experienced technicians and hired new, younger,
&gt; _very_ inexperienced techs to actually do the switch work. They don't
&gt; seem to understand how to read and write.)

Actually the older guys probably took retirement with a &quot;NICE&quot; package. Unions don't lay
off the older crowd. Funny how that works. but this is not the list for it.

&gt; &gt; My speakeasy DSL has been down for 6 days now, and the finger-pointing game
&gt; &gt; continues. So I have a few questions:
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; 1) I know at some point they are probably going
&gt; &gt; to say'it must be the modem', so I'm looking for a speakeasy customer in Tucker
&gt; &gt; that wouldn't mind me stopping by for 5 minutes to see if my modem can sync at
&gt; &gt; their house.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; 2) And in the event that it does turn out to be the modem, anyone know of a
&gt; &gt; source for used modems?  Are they all interchangeable? I doubt they are, so
&gt; &gt; does anyone know what kind speakeasy uses?
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; 3) Speakeasy says I can't cancel my contract without penalty until I've been
&gt; &gt; down 60 days, which seems ludicrous.  Anyone know of a way I might be able to
&gt; &gt; get out earlier?
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; I never thought I'd miss my Comcast cable modem, but at least there wasn't any
&gt; &gt; of this finger pointing BS, and I was never down for more than a day..
