Verizon can buy them and bring FIOS here! :D ;) :p
Here! Here! Verizon is all around my area and a few towns are stuck with Embarq. I hope Verizon sucks this little area up quick. :D

EXACTLY what I was thinking/hoping excpept I envisioning Las Vegas, NV instead of Naples, FL.

besides the credit crunch, of course, why shouldn't Verizon buy Embarq? with VZW's upcoming purchase of Alltel, they've shown that they want to become as large as the government will allow. And yes I know that wireless division is separate from the landline division, but they're both greedy all the same.
Verizon is reducing their wired footprint. Hawaii, NE states come to mind ? Increasing their wired coverage is for their major profit center now. Sorry, I seriously doubt your dream will come true. :huh:

Ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Maybe-21200554 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 19:38:43 EDT Re: Maybe.. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Maybe-21200516
Though if anyone buys it'll be interesting to see what happens to the network topology on the backbone side...if WS were to buy things would have to be switched from SprintLink to Level3. If Qwest bought (oh noes!) things would be switched onto their network, which, to be frank, itsn't that great.

I'd just see it as odd if Qwest actually did buy...Embarq is all over the place as far as places covered go, and Qwest...well...isn't. You've got a contiguous Bell buying what ends up being a bit of a CLEC...*shrugs*

Don't think Verizon would buy. But WS on the other hand...too bad they don't have 896k upload. At least download is good and they overprovision so you get what you pay for. Unlike...ahem...Qworst!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Maybe-21200516 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 19:30:58 EDT Re: Maybe.. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Maybe-21200501 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Maybe-21200501 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 19:28:31 EDT Maybe.. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Maybe-21200455 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Maybe-21200455 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 19:21:40 EDT
