Comment Northpoint Closing Up Shop - Is this widely known? (Score 1) 469
I am the only guy who didn't know that Northpoint is going away ?
I have ADSL from a Florida ISP ( Durocom, formerly MPINet ). I have a measly 144kbps downstream but it still beats dial-up. I prefer to imagine that I am a long way from the Central Office rather than that I am being ripped off.
It's all moot now - since my ISP uses the Northpoint infrastructure. Northpoint has announced that it is going out of business and my ISP has pulled all mention of DSL from its website.
When I called Tech Support because of a temporary outage yesterday, they transferred me to Customer Service who were supposedly going to give me some bad news. Of course all I got was 20 minutes of music on hold before I hung up.
I have to imagine that many others will be affected by this.
