| The point is.... That like it or not, whether it is part of their "future" plans or not, Verizon has an absolute responsibility to properly support and maintain the services that they provide their customers.
They certainly should be fined if they are not meeting those responsibilities. Granted, Verizon is a privately-owned business, however, they are in the communications biz, which for many good reasons is regulated by Govt.
Regardless if some of the current requirements may (or may not) change in the near future, they cannot blithely decide what parts of their agreement that they want to honor, and which parts they wish to ignore.
If Verizon wishes not to be in compliance, then they should get out of the Telco business. Do not be fooled, there is still money to be made there!

canada | Pete you are right. And while being the responsible company, they would also improve relations with their copper customers who one day, may have to switch to fiber, and would want to be with a company they have had good experiences from. |

Verizon is a business but the copper they sell service on is regulated in return for a near monopoly over it.
They need to pay for it and now they need to pay for a mistake they knowingly made (lack of maintenance.) |
