Punknet is a 'Guerilla ISP'. Twenty of us share a 128k ISDN line, distributed via high-speed modems. It's been running fine for over a year now, but Pacific Bell has evidently decided to get rid of us.
How? Simply by refusing to either repair or replace our 25 pair trunk line, which is rapidly degrading. We've offered to replace it ourselves, but according to them, it's illegal. Right now, we've got three dead lines, and two others that only will do 1200 baud.
Hmmm, you should have some kind of Public Utility Commission (PUC) in your area that regulates the service provider. Here in Texas if SWBT received more
