RE: OT - Is XO a good ISP?

2005-11-14 Thread Kurt Buff
Just got back from vaca - take a look at the current issue of Network World.
It seems the XO is selling off their wireline stuff, and going wireless.


XO, a CLEC, is selling its national wireline telecommunications 
business for $700 million in cash to finance its transition to a 
fixed broadband wireless provider. The buyer is Elk Associates, 
an entity owned by XO's controlling stockholder, Carl Icahn, 
which has executed a definitive agreement to purchase the 
wireline business. 


I'd ask your sales geek about that before I made a committment...

OT - Is XO a good ISP?

2005-11-10 Thread Bret Miller
I wouldn't normally ask this, but perhaps I should more often. We're
likely changing our ISP when we relocate soon and XO Communications
seems to be the choice of management this time. Obviously, I'd like an
ISP whose IP ranges aren't blocked by half the mail servers in the U.S.
We'll have T1 service with a static IP range, so we shouldn't have the
obvious issues that you have on DSL or dial-up ranges. But, just in
case, is XO a good ISP? Anyone?

Feel free to reply off-list.

Thanks,
Bret
