>Well, Verizon may not be shutting down the Northpoint xDSL lines to their
>subscribers (my DSL router still gets sync) but that doesn't help if someone
>(possibly but not necessarily Verizon) cuts off the links between the DSLAMs
>and the rest of the world.

>The March 30 mail you sent to IP didn't stop my Northpoint line from going
>effectively dead at 6:40pm EST on March 29.

>This is sent from my work email, since my home net is still offline.

>As for "efficient migration paths", I'll believe it when my Covad replacement
>line is up and pinging--no sooner.
