Where do I start?  I can assure you that GTE employees read this board
because I know several, including ADSL product managers, engineers, and
others.  I can also assure you that they do want to supply a good product,
at a fair price.

I can also tell you that most of them will try to respond to questions that
are intelligent, respectful, and not laced with profanity.  Try to think of
it this way.... If you call a help desk (not just GTE, but any help desk),
and get nasty, you should expect to get hung up on if you behave in a
non-professional manner.  Consider the lack of response to your message a
big ole "CLICK-bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz".

This technology stuff is not always easy to pull off.  GTE and the rest of
the telecommunications industry is attempting to do things that have never
been done before, with standards are aren't even written down much less dry
and printed.  I read about people complaining about the "obscene" amounts of
money they are being charged by the big bad telephone company and I have to
laugh...

Go to Western Europe, where you are charged for every six second increment
on a local call.  Go to Eastern Europe, where you have to go to a Post
Office type facility, stand in line and wait for a long distance operator to
connect you...  Go to South America, where there is a 18 month wait for a
land line...
