Hmmm ... tell me more. I love to hear stories of evil ISPs buying each other out, promising lower fees and better service.
Sounds like a "IHate____" website in the making!
Have had a marginal connection (we are 3 miles from the CO) with our DSL line. Marginal turned to crappy about three months ago.
Service inept, unable to correct the problems and each service call resulted in a multi-day outage and a change in our (supposedly) static IP.
Called the local cable company - had service on under 24 hours with 10x the bandwidth.
