Swamp... BellSouth is adding ADSL to some areas in the state. However, with the economy and the FCC being the way they are, the budgets have been slashed. So while we used to turn up several sites all over the state, now we are turning up a handful. There are some new technologies coming out that will help, but if I remember correctly, you're not one of those. :(

Dirge works for BellSouth?? grrrrr, I hates BST =)

But seriously Swamps, you might want to consider changing ISPs to Bayou, if you're gonna play on the MERC server. With the server being on their network it would help out *alot*. When I was on dial up, I played on a server hosted at Shreve.Net, and they were also my ISP. I would consistantly ping around 170, and it rocked. =)

You hates BST? Why is that? Remember, you are in probation mode. lol :stick

Oh and Diesel works for BST as well.

I don't *really* hate BellSouth. I just like to poke at them. I work for a CLEC, so that's why. =)

[LA_MERC_Dirge]

CLEC!!!!!! ARRRGGGGHHH

/me prepares my foot for your arse!

:stick

j/k What CLEC you work for? And what do you do for them?

I am DS1 designer/Service Advocate/BICS Engineer

CLEC scum!
:headshot
j/k :stick
:trout

Sorry Swamp, thanks to our CLEC friends :p
ADSL expansion is basically been stopped to a hault.

I work for CP-Tel Network Services, in Natchitoches, LA. We are the ILEC in some backwoods small towns close to here and we are expanding as a CLEC in Natchitoches.

I work in our NOC, doing all kinds of crap. Dispatching troubles to outside techs, calling troubles into BST when your guys screw something up :stick . Work orders in one of the switches, adding features and building numbers and such. Havn't been trained on the new one yet. Web programming, help with network admin stuff.

Hey! Why'd the CLECs make ya'll stop expanding your DSL service? Because ours is so much cheaper?

[gesikah]

CP-TEL RULZ!!!:hb

(at least as long as Jason works for them) :D

[LA_MERC_Diesel]

Ahh, my post was Op-ed (see trout slap)

No, its a long story and I would hate for anti-trust lawyers to come after me. Dirge can back me up on this, and trust us since we do work here. As a CLEC you should know why its cheaper.
Then again a Hyundai is cheaper than a BMW, go figure.;)

[roXet]

Yeah, I know Diesel, I'm just jerkin' your chain. =)
