But not out here in the sticks. I was hoping that a stronger signal, via antenna or amplifier would do the trick. My signal comes from cell towers. Is your DSL coming through phone lines or cell towers? If this doesn't work, I'll have to try satellite, but at least I tried all the options first.Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05712893867575841432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138859409301308693.post-5743331938874063162009-11-18T07:53:48.990-05:002009-11-18T07:53:48.990-05:00Jordan,

My hunch is Verizon oversold its service and did not expand whatever it needed to do to take care of more customers. You might be competing with other Verizon customers.<br /><br />Quite often, too, my service just cuts out, gone. After they keep me on the phone for an hour walking through technical things, they tell me it is their problem, something with the server.katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11478104766635836508noreply@blogger.com
