DSLReports

Bode has a curious personality. Most intelligent people would examine their actions and the responses to those actions from others with an eye towards improving.

Bode, on the other hand, simply redoubles his vicious activities towards AT&T, apparently in the belief that talking loud makes up for a lack of veracity. His sycophants, such as the trekkie wannabe DataRiker and the other trolls, only add to the incredibly idiotic tenor of his rants.

Whatever the motivation, financial or otherwise, Bode has no credibility.

Happily, no one really gives Bode any credibility. This is most likely because of his simple-minded focus on putting down anything AT&T does. One wonders just what the company did to Bode along the way to make him so bitter.

Once again Bode strikes out at AT&T. And once again, no one else really cares about the subject of his latest diatribe but him. Perhaps Karl needs to make an appointment for some sort of psych intervention.

Cyberbullying:

Ganging up on victims by making them the subject of ridicule in forums, and posting false statements as fact aimed at humiliation.

The use of information and communication technologies to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behavior by an individual or group, that is intended to harm others.

Cyberbullying is the use of the Internet and related technologies to harm other people, in a deliberate, repeated, and hostile manner.

The Owner of DSL Report is a Crook ....... He is what people throw in the Garbage.

They are making money off of the providers via advertising. So, it behooves them to take a stance that is in the provider's best interests. I posted some information that clearly showed fraud from a provider. It just gets deleted.

Doesn't it make anyone wonder why there are 'techs' from vendors in that forum providing 'fixes' for people you don't know... but you can never seem to get your issues resolved with the same vendor?

It's a false front for shoddy services providers.

@It's a scam at broadbandreportI am in total agreement with you!they (Silver Matrix/dslreports.com say to contact Customer Support before making a complaint here. yeah right!I e-mailed the owner, I posted in feedback about the problems in the forums with NO RESPONSE what so ever! then I filed a complaint with the FCC (re: cyberbullying & discrimination).my other complaint that I sent to Silver Matrix (the parent company/legal team):CENSORSHIP, CYBERBULLYING & INFO DELETEDsilver matrix pissedconsumer.com censorship-cyberbullying-info-deleted 201201****9007

for some reason this website isn't allowing to post my message so I used an alternative profile & it worked. odd.

Here! Here!

@It's a scam at broadbandreport I'd like to hear more of what you have to say!

DSLReports/Silver Matrix=deceptive business practices?

what's the story with broadbandreports.com? why did they change it to dslreports.com?

hmmm, just received a letter back from the FCC & go to dslreports.com to login for the tests I ran. funny my login has been banned from the site...

unbelievable! DSLReports.com deleted my review(s)of CenturyLink (all of them-I had 3).

should have got a screenshot of the one I posted today! If that's not fishy behavior I don't know what is.

Kellarin,

Give it up. There's no sense is worrying about that site. It's a total sham.

It may have been decent years ago as a resource to obtain unbiased information, and tips to resolve issues. But those days are LONG GONE.

That site is nothing more than a lacky to service providers because they receive money from the service providers. Look for yourself. Ads everywhere. Also, they say they have techs monitoring that site to provide assistance. Why aren't these techs providing that support via their company's website? Answer: it helps a company hide it's true ticket count / number of customer issues.

broadbandreports.com receives money from these service providers under the guise of advertising ads, and having an 'official list of vendors 'going even further with reaching out to the customer to ensure customer satisfaction'. It's a cop out and a joke. Notice when you READ the disclaimer on the list of approved user IDs for any vendor: there is a disclaimer that this is not an official means of communication to convey a problem... that calling in and opening a ticket is the service provider preferred method.

People seek help online AFTER EXHAUSTING THEIR ATTEMPTS TO RESOLVE ISSUES WITH THE SAME SERVICE PROVIDERS. They run into this broadbandreports.com site, and are duped into thinking they will get help there. If it's a network related issue on thr provider side, FORGET IT! You are getting the run around.

As far as posting issues about things like this, and other issues with a provider, forget that as well. broadbandreports isn't going to shoot themselves in the foot with postings like this. And the vendors will ensure this with pressure: keep stuff that's negative (albeit completelt true) off of your website, or we won't advertise with you anymore.

dslreports has been an extremely helpful and informative site in the 14+ years I've been a member.

They have no affiliations with nor represent any corporations so I don't know what the OP is going on about and as far as termite being banned perhaps he attacked another member or had been posting spam on site, I haven't ever heard of anyone ever being banned arbitrarily for stating their opinion.

I was banned for supporting Donald Trump (fartness/Hockeyfun1) on DSLReports. I repeatedly asked for clarification before I was banned since most posts were deleted, and never received a response.

DSLReports died when DSL no longer was a leading technology.

The site failed to evolve with the proliferation of mobile devices. So many better forums out there.
