:My Copper is still there, and VZ has said over and over that if you want it left there, all you have to do is ask. If you don't have it and want it, they'll hook it back up.
This is just another anti-business news post...
In my town (and in may others, I would imagine) there are only two providers of high-speed service. Not much competition there. As for Verizon's statements, well, I know some ex-Enron employees and investors in securities backed by subprime mortgages who might have a few wordsy about whether you bet the farm on a large corporation's promises. Unfortunately, my friend, business is in business to make money - that's why it's called business. And her's a Rule of Business: if it's not clearly stated in a binding legal contract, forget about it.
