said by pnh102:said by G_Poobah:Verizon is using MY LAND to run their wires. Verizon plays by MY RULES.
Yes, they are, maybe for the first few feet of the connection.
said by G_Poobah:Again, the end solution to this may be the government stepping in and regulating verizon again.
No, the correct solution is to find another ISP that better caters to your needs. Why anyone would pay for service that doesn't suit their needs is totally beyond me.
said by G_Poobah:This greed has got to be stopped NOW, otherwise the internet will end up being a vast corporate wasteland, where discrimination are all based on the ability to pay, which goes against every tenet of democracy.
Um... every business works like this. What's next? You want the government to force companies like Porsche and Bentley to lower their prices so that everyone can afford their product?
No one died without Verizon FIOS. If Verizon chooses to lose customers by providing bad service, then its their CEOs who will get scalped for blowing away literally millions of dollars in capital investments.
