> 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.
