[lug] Line quality?

[Mike Vigorita]

Dan's correct.  I had a problem a few months back, where my 
modem would not connect at all.  After 4 phone calls to Qworst, and 
4 visits from a tech, I finally spoke to a field supervisor.  He said that 
they (Qworst) only guarentee 2400 baud (yes, 2400, *not* 24,000).  
Well, once I told him that I'm getting ZERO BAUD, they finally fixed 
the line.

Anyhow, if you are connecting at 2400 baud or more, don't count on 
any help from the LEC.
