    Default DSL: So close, yet so far...

    I've got the SBC stuff installed and ready to go... however, my activation date isn't until the 10th!

    What goes on between then and now? Line conditioning? What's that? Does anyone know if there's a way to expedite the process?? They've told me there's nothing they can do but wait... is that a line or does it really take that long?

    I'm dying to be on the non-dial-up web!!

    You know when you walk over to the patch panel at work and patch in Sat5 to Studio 3 (I assume it applies in TV too)... They need to do that at the switching station.

    Hey 3 Bean,..when I lived in Ft Worth we were promised DSL for a long time.
    To the point where they would sell it to us then say we were not in the available area, this happened several times.
    We did however end us being about 25ft from the switching station which gave us screaming fast DSL.
    Same Company too.
    I would recomend to just stay with it and keep calling them til they get it done,if you don't get satisfaction go over the customer service tech to a supervisor.
    Good luck, I hope you get a close switching station too.
    We really miss it out in the boonies.

    When I got my DSL for home from SBC I hooked it up and it was actually working prior to my activation date! YMMV

    I've been setting everything else up though... I've got the garage PC up and running it's NetGear wireless, the laptop is ready, and the PC in Gwen's office is the main connection site.

    I've got so much to learn... like WEP and encryption and how to tell who's been where and when!

    Argh... I'm impatient.

    What's DSL?

    I've already forgotten that since I got FIOS...

    15Mb down - 2Mb up... $39.95 a month...



    DSL = and FIOS =

    Shelby got DSL, and it was the same deal. I tried to install it everyday, but it wouldn't work. About 9am on the activation day I tried again, and walla!

    Just a little bit closer... earlier I had two greens and a red light. Now I've got all three green... but still no go. Perhaps someone's taking their time with the routing. Darn it...
