Re: New VZ promotion: *FREE* updgrade to 3.0Mbps (from 768K) ?
Chances are the reason you are having trouble with your DSL and the reason they won't upgrade you are the same....you're too far for it.
Couple of things come to mind about this move. First, does the "free" upgrade end after a year, 6mo., etc.? Second, could this be a move to get as many people as possible up to the higher speeds, since everyone whose line supports it would have no reason not to, then just dump the lower speed altogether, making the 3/768 the new low speed plan, but at a higher price? Not talking immediately of course, but over the course of the next year or two. Combine that with further FIOS deployment and you see the first move on the DSL side in phasing it out. |
