Search errors

The verizon Wi-Fi Access HotSpot Directory has search errors

1. example search State New York city Manhattan All types
results 28 locations 27 are STARBUCKS no bookstores listed

2. example search State New York city New York All types
results 220 locations
If you refine by Bookstore You see quite a few Barnes & Noble (Bookstore) but they appeared like only Manhattan ones but I am not sure didn't check them.
by (Retail Business) only 1 Barnes & Noble
by (Other Public Areas) you get 29 locations with 23 of them
are Public Telephones in Manhattan and other boroughs

I just checked this 1 of 23 listed because it didn't seam right. I didn't really take time to look at the others
Public Telephone - 650 3rd Avenue (Other Public Areas)
650 3rd Avenue
New York,New York 11232

so when I clicked map it the results were
650 3rd Ave
Brooklyn, NY 11232
Did you mean:
650 3rd St, Brooklyn, Kings, NY 11215
650 E 3rd St, Brooklyn, Kings, NY 11218

3. example search State All City New York same results as 2.

I guess that Verizon doesn't give priority to correcting errors in this search. You can only search by full zip code. I love searches like this site has for comparing speed test you can increase your zip code search area by leaving out digits starting from right to left

I do love Verizon FiOS I have 20/20 (all speeds shown are Mbits/s) $69.95(no package) which is now being offered as 25/15. I will keep 20/20 and hope they don't force a change to 25/15.

My main activity is P2P bit torrent Many bit torrent users forget or are not aware that a 10 /10 can be better than 10/1 10/2 20/5 etc if sharing fast, fairly and quanity is important to them.

I belong to a few private sites that have ratio requirements. My fast upload makes it easier and faster to get and share as much as possible. I don't get evening slowdowns like cable users "might' get. Plus the hell with Cable, FiOS, Vontage and any other $19.95 and up phone service. I use Skype About $5 a month if you get the subscription and a local number unlimited US to US & Canada calls (almost unlimited 10,000 minute cap) I mainly use my Verizon Cell phone $39.95+ (many family & friends use them) 450 minutes but with peak calls to non verizon $0.45 per minute over 450 Skype comes in handy if I may go over.
