Re: Lets see what happens when their contracts are up!

You mean 6Mbps down and 610 up.

And he is somewhat right. Some people depending on their finances and their ability to read a contract will leave Verizon. Others who are too dumb to realize their financial situation will just stay with Vz until Vz kicks them off the network due to no payment. I live in an area where is this is likely to happen.

All these low-mid income people switch in mass droves to Vz because its cheaper and due to lack of understanding/reading a contract they get screwed when the price is jacked up. Verizon counts on people switching from the slow ass 768 (which at 15 is not a deal imo) 5 bucks would be more of a deal. 768 is faster than dial up granted, but in terms of broadband that is slow as a turtle and when you compare apples to apples the price of 15 bucks is robbery. You can't compare dial up to broadband and the pricing. People who do so are idiots. They are completely different entities. While they both connect you to the net the way in which they do it is different. Also note Verizon's Tech support is probably outsourced = crappy. Granted I'm not a Verizon customer so I can't really vouch for it, but from what I've heard from other people its not that hot.

But I do have to say I'm laughing because most people getting into the broadband market have no clue how to use a PC in the first place. Let alone how to run a home network..which means Verizon will A)Give retarded advice, or B)Point them in other directions and tell customers home networks aren't supported. I'm apt to believe the latter.

a. Dry loop can be had from Verizon for 19.95 (768/128)
b. price does not go up if you commit to another year.
c. If they are too dumb to read the contract it not verizon or any other companies fault.
