Countering the "Lingo Sucks" Thread

I'm a little bothered by the recent Lingo Sucks thread that has been
rolling through the TD the last couple of days. Let's get serious --
the inability to successfully port a Verizon phone number to Lingo is
*not* Lingo's fault -- it is clearly and incontestibly Verizon's.
(Among other postings, see mine of early October about trying to get
Verizon to do their job.)

If you're going to complain about Lingo, at least do it for real reasons:

- still not sending callerID *name* (although they are sending number)
on outgoing calls
- still not passing callerID *name* on incoming calls
- occasional overmodulation on calls (one side too loud)
- ATA device needs to be reset/powered down about once a week

Still, I have had Lingo for almost 5 months, and I would have to give
my service a strong B-plus.
