Re: Verizon promo 7meg download dsl
said by Jodokast96  :No, they install a Home Run, a filter/splitter they install at the NID. One side goes to the jack where the modem will connect, the other to the rest of the house. It eliminates and works much better than the inline filters they give you now. I have had one of those for about 3 years now, when I moved my service sucked so in trying to find the problem they installed a spilitter in my NID (for free  ) anyhow problem ended up being on the other side of the CO like I told em all along but I did get a free splitter out of the deal LOL

What exactly does it do? do they do line bonding or what? |

It may not be 100% needed, but given the potential for problems with line conditions affecting speeds, it's something they require. That's something Verizon has always done. |

It should not require any splitters..
GWI(a local company) runs out of a Verizon CO, and offers 20/1 service, no technition has to do anything. |

Has anyone called verizon and requested 7mbit service outside of the areas we know have it? |

said by Slidetbone :If they are releasing 7.1M in limited areas, this means that no too far in the future, the upgrades for existing service will be made available. Thats what I figured too. Just got to be patient.

I think that's standard practice for 7.1 service. |

I asked a contact of mine and the 7.1M was made available on a limited basis to new customers only in all east and west locations. He tells me that not all CO's will have it and the service will require a technician to install a splitter. Also, upgrades are not yet available.
For those that think canceling is the solution, I will tell you that by reading so many posts here on folks that wanted either faster speeds or the promo pricing that it is not worth it. The hassel is too great. It is a dumb move. If they are releasing 7.1M in limited areas, this means that no too far in the future, the upgrades for existing service will be made available. |

We should start flooding verizon with requests for 7.1mbit and see if they ever start pushing it to others!... 3mbit is very outdated now... |

I emailed Verizon and this is the response I received.
Thank you for contacting the Verizon eCenter. I have received your email dated December 7, 2007 regarding your High Speed Internet service. My name is Yolanda, and I understand your wish to increase your connection speed to 7.1 M/768K.
I apologize for the delay in my response, and I regret any inconvenience to you.
Currently, the 7.1 M/768K residential plan is only available in Delaware. Unfortunately, it is unknown when this speed will be offered in additional states.
Although additional follow-up is needed, it has been my goal today to address your concerns related to the faster High Speed Internet service. I hope I have succeeded in meeting that goal. In the meantime, if you have any other questions, please let us know. We look forward to serving you.
Thank you for using Verizon. We appreciate your business.
Sincerely,
Yolanda
Verizon eCenter |

Sorry for leaving that out, I'm in Brooklyn, NY. Wish there was a way that they could extend this to existing customers; I've had verizon DSL since 1999! |

I called in, and the reps were very courteous and knew what I was talking about. Unfortunately, this is still a trial promotion and, at this time, it is only available for new customers.

I am in WV. I called Verizon and inquired about this. The CSR stated that she would check and then she ran a speed test on my number. Then she came back saying only the 3 mb was available at my location.
So maybe this is for real. |

I hope this is true, although being anon makes me worry a bit. 3 mb down is getting dated fast. |
