So is that another 660, or do they have something even newer than it now?

No they are replacing the 660 I have with a NEW 660. Seem that will be a waste now that they got it back up. I tried to explain to them that it was on their end not mine, But hey I am a women what do I know :clap:
Now lets see what happens will it stay up or be up and down again? Only the DSL God will know! :dunno:

Anyone have any Embarq problems this week? Tuesday it was a little flaky, yesterday worse, and today I have no connectivity. I did the usual debugging on my end (even had an extra 660 to see if the other one has gotten gimped up by a lightning strike) with no success. They said the problem is on their end and that it'll take 24-48 hours to resolve it.

Right now I am online via by cell phone tethered to my laptop and connection via a dialup account where I work. Really fast -- 19.2 Kbps. :bang:

Guess I'll get offline so I don't tie up my cell.

Well... my Mediacom cable was out for over 6 hours today. They said a main line was cut.

Yes mine is running slower than normal today as well.
I gotta tell ya Embarq is well less than stellar with its service.
I lived in New Orleans after Katrina and had less outages then with bellsouth than I do now with Embarq.

I hate Embarq

It is funny, most Embarq "high speed" is around 1Mbps while cable modems run around 5-7Mbps. Usually with Embarq you have to hit the $70.00+ DSL package to even come close.

But nothing as far as our service contract has changed since we were here two weeks ago. But now when I'm on SoWal, I have to wait for the avatars, Kurt's banner, icons, etc. to download, whereas they used to render immediately.

Maybe I'll try a power cycle.
