Telocity just got baought out by AT&T or at least part of their backbone did. Some customers are getting notice of termination of service from around the Twin Cities area. To be honest with you, if you need a decent reliable providor for DSL and whatnot in the Twin Cities area your best bets are companies like Qwest (I have installed well over 30+ setups with them, yeah they are a pain in the ass but once they work they work. And I have a personal contact at headquarters who can make things happen for me. So I'm biased towards them) Visi - So far I have had no problem with them at all. They will drop now and again but most of my clients are happy with them (I have done probably 12+ setups with visi) ISD (Another smaller local company, who for the most part is pretty solid) Megapath - See Telocity Bitstream - I have only done 3 setups with Bitstream. A few config problems here and there but no downtime as of yet. RoadRunner is just starting to offer a business clas Cable service. I don't think it is availiable in residential area's (Unless you twist some arms) On Monday 26 March 2001 14:56, you wrote: > Is Telocity offering a good deal?
