Once more, the DSL and the ridiculous NASA-rejected monkeys working the night shift for Covad. Having been told for the fourth time to change the card (once by Verizon, twice by Speakeasy, once by one of their own), they came up with this clearly suitable response. "The DSLAM port shows up with traffic passing." No problem for the last two months has been listed as "no traffic passing" - it has always, always been 'intermittent'. The work order didn't say "check the DSLAM port", it said change it and the card. Unless it's the daytime Covad people who can't write, I suppose. Perhaps both, like a very short game of chinese whispers. "Cheese T GLAM port", writes the dayshift, which is interpreted by the nightshift as "Cows to slam bork". It would take something this stupid to lead to such astounding ineptitude.
