DSL Hell to get worse

July 14, 2000 5:41 AM

DSL Hell to get worse before it [maybe] gets better. CWA Local 2108 is in negotiations for a new contract with Bell Atlantic and it is not going well. If they can't reach agreements, there is a work stoppage scheduled on August 5th. This will affect pretty much every DSL install in the Bell Atlantic region; CWA includes installers, technicians and tech support. So get it while you can, or prepare to wait a while.

[note: I'm not a CWA member, I work for an ISP trying to grapple with this]

My cable modem here in San Diego has been working fine for more than three years. (Eat your heart out.)
