When SW-Bell was first rolling out the DSL service our business was one of the first in Oklahoma to use it. A friend was a top manager at SW Bell and his department was in charge of installing it. Our company was within a rock throw of the local switching office. At one point I had 5 SW bell technicians in my office, and there were over a dozen on a conference call. They were all discussing how to make it work and trying to learn what the problems were. After an hour of nothing one of the guys in another state said, ok let me try it this way. Bingo we had DSL service. At first it was not throttled back and was crazy fast. Then they whipped out the meter and cranked it down to the speed we were paying for.
The top manager guy then mentioned to everyone on the call and in my office that their goal was to do 20 installs a day in the next week. They all laughed.
Good Monday morning folks.
