Embarq DSL intermittent and slow?

Embarq is slow and intermittent still here at Camp Creek too. Annoying.

Embarq has been intermittent, service almost completely unavailable this weekend. Maybe its a coincidence, but I had excellent service prior to them changing over to "CenturyLink"...

I've been on the phone with tech support all evening. VERY frustrating because the problem is intermittent. When I call, I'm not connected, but by the time they answer, I have a connection. I told them the problem seemed very common in the area and they suggested anyone with a problem call them so they can confirm it's an area problem and try to determine the source of the issue.

I will call them as well, this has become a big problem to pay for the high speed premium and lately get below dial-up service suddenly. Not acceptable. I wonder what happened? They had been providing excellent service prior to the name change.
