[NTLUG:Discuss] SWBell DSL

[Seth Daniel]

All,

I figure I'd follow up my original rant against SWBell, and
let people know how pleased I have been with Concentric.  
While SWBell still has never called me back about DSL (after
repeated calls by me, and promises that they'd ``have the
answer tomorrow''), Concentric has already set a firm
commit date for the outside and inside wiring + setup.  So
far I'm very happy with Concentric.  Of course, after dealing
with the incompetence of SWBell for 5+ weeks I imagine a
reasonably intelligent, trained monkey would seem like an
improvement.
