In my experience, GTE does not provide good ISP services.  Very
unstable and unreliable connectivity.  Busy signals, you name it.  I
can think of it.  It happened to me.

Not that I'm defending IceMaker, but why is that people like yourself
have to try and make themselves look metally superior to people who
use vulgar language?  The ironic thing is that in the process, they
usually show their true mentality when they start slinging mud at the
other person.  Just an observation on my part.  I know your gonna
flame me now, so have fun.  At least someone gets enjoyment out of
those flame posts.

I believe the phrase goes something like:
"Better to remain silent and let others believe you are a fool,
than to speak (type) and remove all doubt."

There  ARE  better ways to release stress.  My 2¢

At first I read this and didn't find it amusing.  I continued.  Came
back and finally noticed my typo.  I thought that was pretty damn
funny myself.  Keep on rock'n.

Oh, and where is my OC-192?  Your people are running a bit late.

Your post reminded me of the following.

A friend of a friend spent a summer working in a shipyard with some grizzled
old mechanics.  These guys used the word "fuck" a lot--even more than you
do.  One day, one of them came up with this gem to describe a very broken
engine: "This fucking fucker's fucked".

People made of pure metal generally do have low resistance.

OK.  Despite the off topic nature of this thread and IceMaker's
language, there may be a real problem with the @Home service and I'm
trying to get an idea of how wide spread it is.  I too have been
getting "lag" only very recently.  Specifically it comes in the form
of real bad packet loss.  This isn't something that will be readily
apparent when downloading files, surfing the internet, or retreiving
mail, but to us "online gamers" it's murder (worse than moderately
high ping times).

So I don't repeat an earlier post ... see the message titled "Packet
Loss with Comcast @Home".

This may be a problem isolated to Comcast, or maybe not?

But, a small amount of impurity can dramatically increase their tunnelling

I normally don't say anything about typo's (making my fair share) but,
occasionally there is one that is just to much for me to resist.

Those idiots.  They got to the boarder crossing and tried to explain that the
big rolls of orange stuff were really just glass.  The border patrol thought 
they said grass ... well, as you can imagine, it's been one heck of a pain in 
the neck getting that straightened out.  *8^)

What makes you think they can read?

What was the problem? GTE ADSL or the ISP, or your stuff?

IceMaker,

Amazing that you felt that by showing such bad taste in the wrong
newsgroup that you really believed anyone at GTE would take you
seriously. 

Get a life and try taking a computer class and act like an adult, not
a spoiled 5 year old.

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...
