Hoping to use a hybrid technology to provide fast-growing Internet calling services to customers, Covad and EarthLink today said they would begin testing a service that uses existing phone lines to provide high-speed Web access and voice over Internet protocol calling services. The technology uses Covad's Line Powered Voice Access (LPVA) technology to use existing copper voice lines to transmit calls to a Covad data center.

I've been told by Earthlink technical support (on June 30) that they were migrating all their DSL customers to Verizon (I've been in daily contact with Earthlink support since June 28 since I've been without service since then. There seems to be no sign of it getting restored). So why would Earthlink be doing a venture like this with Covad? And why would anyone want to work with an ISP that can't provide ISP services for 10+ days?
