Just take a peek at the comments on his FIOS review. »Review of Verizon FIOS by pktgumby Kind of entertaining for me, since I am called a cable "fanboy" by these same people. :D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17695451 Tue, 23 Jan 2007 11:22:18 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17690711 Technogeez : a. Please note the system's description of "ratings match consensus."
b. For further information, I recommend you google "halo effect."]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17690711 Mon, 22 Jan 2007 16:58:21 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17690670 Technogeez : I think I pointed out that on-line ordering wasn't perfect; neither were the first or second phone reps who were unable (or unwilling) to fulfill my order. The ratings I gave, I think, matched the service I got. Better than 50 but lower than 80...my only option was 60. And it's too early to give 100 percent to anything else. I was surprised to see my post relegated to the "mixed" category, but I didn't invent the rating system. If you got the impression that I'm very happy with the install, but that the ordering process could use improvement, then I was successful.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17690670 Mon, 22 Jan 2007 16:50:02 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17690287 pktgumby : Yeah, you apparently haven't heard about the unwritten rule around here.

Nobody is allowed to rate Verizon FiOS at anything below perfect or everybody starts crying about it and attempts to have your review removed.

You're apparently not allowed to give the rating YOU think Verizon deserves, but rather you must give the rating these other guys want you to give.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17690287 Mon, 22 Jan 2007 15:58:01 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17690256 jtorre69 : This goes to show you how worthless these rating systems can be. You are bound by people that are unable to correctly use them.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17690256 Mon, 22 Jan 2007 15:54:24 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17687906 JohnA :
How can you write a glowing review, then give ratings so poor that your review ends up in the mixed column?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17687906 Mon, 22 Jan 2007 08:38:27 EDT
