Anybody ever tried Winfire DSL?

My family signed up for it on August 5th, and they still haven't connected us. What the heck? I've been away at college, so I haven't really paid too much attention.

I made a few calls back in November to try to help them out; Winfire claimed that they were having problems getting information from our phone company. We use Bell Atlantic.

The funny thing is that Bell Atlantic called my family halfway through August to say that we'd been activated.

Pretty strange situation. They haven't been billing us or anything, of course. I guess I'll call tommorow and see whats up.

Goddamnit!!! I signed up in the middle of December, I was suppose to get an email within a week with the confirmation date. Still haven't received it yet, and they are blaming it on Verizon. &@(#*&@# I already bought my own modem and networking stuff. They better activate it soon before I go back to school.
 
Hee hee hee

>>>"They better activate it before I go back to school."

I remember saying the same thing back in August.

Every time I call, they say it'll be ready in a week. If it works out for you the way it did for me...you should start hoping that it'll be ready for the summer. 😉

dcdomain, i doubt it will take 2 weeks for the activation of your dsl line. it might be more towards a month.
 
Oh god... ok, screw it... I'm praying it'll be up before summer then. But some other guy in my town, ordered around the same time as me, he's getting it activated on the 12th. What gives?

erikiksaz nah, I'm not complaining bout the activation, I was talking about their confirmation email. They still haven't sent me anything... fuc er's....
 
Well originally they give me an activation date -- August 28th. Once it came and went though, I was getting kind of impatient. Little did I know how long it would be. Five months later its STILL not done.

mine was supposed to be activated dec 29. I was hoping I would come back from school and be able to have DSL. NOT!!! They claim Verizon is being gay. Going back to school tomorrow, still no DSL 🙁 . I hope the DSL is here by May.
 
Well, from what I hear, the only bad thing about Winfire is waiting for the activiation/modem shipment (when they're on backorder). People who are online with Winfire enjoy their connection.
 
Wow damn, think Verizon just screwed me. They said they had support in my area, and I thought they were activating my line... today I received notice that they didn't have service in my area and backed out. DAMN THEM!!! I ALREADY BOUGHT THE FREAKING MODEM!!!
 
WInfire/Freedsl:

Cons:

1. Annoying toolbar

2. all incoming ports blocked...(I guess to block people from using server software)

3. bad costumer service !

4. long long wait to get activated and a modem ( 8 months for me and no dsl yet )


Pros:

1. free or very cheap compared with other ISP's!
 
dayamn, this thread was started on the 7th and it's still running. well anyways, freedsl is only as good as your local isp. frikken pac bell is screwing over all the winfire users in my area (all my friends have their modems and winfire has them on their network). for some reason, the only link that's missing is pac bell. HURRY THE F|_|CK UP PAC BELL!!
 
Haha...I called them again on Monday. They told me my activation date is this Friday now. Ha ha ha...ha ha...sigh.
