I am in Humboldt County and the service has been much better these past two
years. I have had almost no problems with the service in that time but when
SBC started DSL service here, there were lots of problems and the "tech
support" people would blame them on the customer and not send anyone out to
take a look. That is why there was a class-action lawsuit against SBC a few
years ago.
