I'm glad (?) to hear it wasn't just me. I had three different technicians
visit, with the last one blaming trouble in my house, though all my
subsequent internal troubleshooting hasn't turned up anything. (The
previous two changed various line settings, moved me to a new DSLAM, and
generally blamed recent "software upgrades" in the CO.)

We're out in the boonies, so Comcast isn't an option.

Have others been having terrible problems with Fairpoint DSL recently? (At
the risk of jinxing myself, it's been slightly better over the past 2-3
weeks.)
