Not us have to find it ourselves. Joe Carolyn, I agree, but it shouldn’t be that way, the provider should provide the service from the beginning. Not us have to find it ourselves.

It seems that Every Time Verizon puts a push on in a particular area, I get dozens of hits on those old Verizon posts. Hopefully, others who need the info find this post first. But that will never happen, people don't start looking until the Don't get answers from the provider. Joe Hey Chris,

I had a similar frustration trying to get my new Linksys wireless router talking with our BellSouth DSL. The pretty picture instructions that came with the router basically said connect everything and turn it on. "See. It's working" Only it wasn't. Took a bunch of online hunting (but first you've got to disconnect the router so you can get back to the internet. Blah, blah, blah.) to get the whole thing up and running successfully. You'd think the router companies would know that installing their product involves some tweaking with DSL, and like you said Joe, they would offer up more comprehensive installation information. Sheesh! I’m sensing a common theme here. I had a similar frustration trying to get my new Linksys wireless router talking with our BellSouth DSL.

He sent an EM saying he downloaded them, but no word on his success yet. Unfortunately, the Telcos don't have any need to provide the service they claim in their commercials. :-( That's one reason I try to give some easy answers to sometimes complex questions.
