Re: The end of Freedom Essentials Is there a reason to keep FE over DV? I recently extended my package and was upgraded to DV at the time. Everything seems to be the same. Since I am no longer on copper, the fact that copper may work in a power outage is no longer a benefit of POTS. So, I really see no difference between DV and FE. I know that DV has more features, but I never use them. the tax savings is a nice feature of DV. Am I missing something? |

| said by OwlSaver:Is there a reason to keep FE over DV? FE is a regulated service in most states. If you have a problem that can't be resolved directly, you have recourse to your public utilities commission. FE is tariffed. VZ has to apply to your state commission for a rate increase. VZ can charge anything they like for DV; if you have a problem that you can't resolve with DV your only recourse is to switch to another provider. |

And yet, there it is, sitting right there, cheaper and with a more rich feature set.
I hope that Verizon continues shifting the burdensome costs of anti-growth regulation to the users of regulated services and letting customers on non-regulated services enjoy the cost benefits of the free market. |
