No DSL today :(

A technician came out today with a modem and tried for several hours, but could NOT get us connected :-( So we're back to sucky dial-up. Unfortunately, they had to change some things at the main connection point to prepare the line for DSL and our dial-up is now very unstable (this is the 1st time I've been able to connect for more than a few seconds in two days). Therefore I have to get them to go back and repair whatever it was they disabled. However, Bill Fallin of Centurytel said they tried another technology call AdrenaLine and the customer got 1.3Mbps on a 1.5Mbps subscription, at 25,000 feet.

A guy came out last week to check our lines for line-noise or breaks, checked each house's box between here and the CO, no breaks in the line-service, and added the distance between each box (by driving) until he got to the CO and said we were at 23,900. Today, the DSL technician who came said that he showed, while at the CO, that we were at 26,800 feet. According to their maps, we WERE only 23,900 feet, so I don't know what the hell is going on :-(

Disappointed

UPDATE: Got an email from the head technician and it said he and the tech that was here today will be back tomorrow to get us DSL. Please cross your fingers and anything else you can think of so that we'll actually have high-speed by this time tomorrow. Thanks in advance.
