Is this a problem with the DACS vendor, user- >interface design, operator procedures, or dumb management? After five years of dealing with USworst ... dumb management. Those guys couldn't find a clue in a clue factory. The Colorado Public utilities commisison (CPUC) penalizes them regularly because they can not even operate their telephone services properly. At one time, USwest was quoting 9-week lead-times for residential telephony servce in Black Forest (Colorado Springs, CO, CPUC requirements is two weeks)! If a telephone company can't even do telephony, how do you expect them to do Internet? Our USworst gateway regularly goes <dead> because they can't even keep their routers configured.
