The Covad Experience Has Begun

Filed under: connectivity, telecom - 23 Apr 2007 15:25

I am in Covad’s Blogger Relations program. As part of that process, I get to have a T1 at my house installed and managed by them. And yes, I have to write about it. Today is where the rubber starts meeting the road.

Today, I got my phone call from Covad telling me that the Qwest portion of my installation was going to occur Wednesday–the local exchange carrier always has to do their part first. I had the call directed through GrandCentral, of course, which I attempted to pick up through Gizmo. For whatever reason, the touch tones didn’t seem to be passing thru to Covad, so I decided to call Covad just to confirm the date.

Like Dameon, I’m part of this great program as well. My experience is moving with equal progress, but a little differently. The other day I got an email letting me know things were oing to start moving in the next week or so. Then I learned Qwest was on site at my house installing the T1. So my T1 for this installed too, but I haven’t heard from Covad so far. I’m sure those of us involved will all be moving ahead now.
