Pete, Do you know anyone else in your area using the same Verizon service who is willing to compare notes? If they are having problems you should be able to find out if they happen at the same time. If the other installation always works you know the problem is downstream of the point where the bandwidth is shared.
Another idea - set up a continuous ping to a file to document when connectivity comes and goes. This will give you an objective record of exactly what is happening. The file might be evidence of the problem that you can present to Verizon's technical support. Finally, when I have had intermittent problems with my cable modem installation, I have had the provider swap out their device to see if it has been causing the problem. Perhaps Verizon would do that for you. Good Luck! - Joe Yoder On Monday, November 17, 2008 6:09 PM, Pete Theisen wrote: > >Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2008 18:09:38 -0500 >From: Pete Theisen >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >cc: >Subject: Re: [NF] Unacceptable verizon dsl service > >Michael Madigan wrote: > >> I do have to say that if it is working part of the time, I can't believe >> it's the box. > >Hi Michael! > >I bet they are pulling some ****.
