[OT] [ale] Re: FYI - Charter Customers - Not specifically ALE re lated

[Thompson Freeman]

I got going with Telocity DSL here in Charlotte. Once going (we had some
"issues" to deal with, some of my own creating 8-(, others Bell South,
still others Telocity being over extended at the time), it has been
generally smooth. I've had some 24 hr outages, which usually got blamed on
Bell South, and I've fouled up my system on my own. Customer service has
been up and down (short waits, long waits, good responses, questionable
answers, and so forth), but I'm kind of expecting that from everybody
now.

Bottom Line? I'm happy enough with Telocity as the whole package to stay
with them.
