I know someone at the top of Zipply. I'm paraphrasing, but he said something to the effect of, "We're trying to be the ILEC that doesn't suck.".

They blame the corporate, hold a circular firing squad and start-up a new company. The local VP was someone I personally know. He moved away on a new venture of his own, he started up a WISP, now he doesn't report to anybody other than his wife and customers. He's much happier and healthy now.

We had to switch our phone service, it too sucked. They used to be GE, then Verizon, then Frontier and now they're zipply. Same people, same company, same trucks, same buildings. Selling DSL as if it's fiber. They have DSL nodes along the highway and they run some kind of converter to fiber and run that fiber to homes in the area. The further they get down the road of course, the shittier the signal. I think that's their MO: rip everyone off till the law-suits start, close shop and reappear with a new name. We have one customer who paid for two lines from Zipply just to get 6MBps of iffy service for $90/mo. We give them 30MBps for $55/mo. They're real happy I knocked on their door.
