Unless you're a Nextweb subscriber (which I suspect you aren't), I'm not quite sure why Covad's responsible for your wireless problems. I would have thought getting that fixed would be icing, but if the problem is with your own router/adapters/computers, any other provider is going to hit the same wall. I'd have thought a troubleshooting site/forum would be a better place to vent AND find a solution. Not sure whether you've looked at their financials, but they aren't exactly kicking the bucket, and it's their financial situation, not your particular wireless network, that's going to determine that.

Re: COVD will be toast very soon.... I tried today for approximately 10 hours to get my wireless system running again and was unsuccessful. What do your home PC problems have to do with COVAD internet service? I'm not calling you dumb for having trouble setting up a wireless network (there are several steps that can be confusing) but I am pointing out that blaming it on COVAD makes no sense. It's like, if 18 Saudi Arabians blow up a chunk of New York using stolen airplanes, your response is to kiss Saudi Arabia's ass and then (send other peoples kids) to attack Iraq. It doesn't make sense.
