Re: Would you like an extended warranty with your DSL? Hello DSL Tech support? Yes: On a tracert, I have ping times of 500+ ms on the tenth hop and plenty of lag.
Tech support agent: Sorry there is nothing we can do, it's outside our network. Please hold while I transfer you to our billing department. Cha-Ching.

Depending on what the 10th hop is or who owns it you might deserve to be billed. Ever thought about bothering the hop owner instead of your tech support?
"Were sorry you have 500+ms pings to glbx.net, how is this verizon.net's problem?"
For you we decided you should pay $85 a month with a $100 fine for innudating tech support with a useless question (depending on hop domain name as proof). |

Even with a T-1 or T-3 connect, outside the network, there is nothing which can be done to remedy the latency. You and the rep would be absolutely correct in that situation.

Paying the $10.00 extra per month is as useful as calling the tenth hop owner and secondly I know better than to call tech support, because of an congested or bottle necked router outside of Verizon's network. I should bill you $10.00 for assuming I didn't know that.
said by notwrth10:"Were sorry you have 500+ms pings to glbx.net, how is this verizon.net's problem?" Its not, however I would be willing to wager many DSL users, will in fact call tech support for that very issue, thinking the extra $10.00 paid will fix the lag.

Earning a living as a call center tech support agent must be hell.
BTW: Its an extra $25 for misspelling inundating... Cha-Ching
