Note to Verizon lobbyists and PR execs: selling localities you already refuse to serve with DSL on the idea of eliminating franchise build-out requirements for your next-gen services is an uphill climb, no matter how many times you use the word "competition."
No kidding!! And "competition" is the reason these folks don't have DSL in the first place. Verizon, expecially, views DSL mainly as a customer-retention tool (FIOS, BTW, is viewed by them primarily as a TV service). With no competition from cable in these towns, there's no need to deploy DSL, in the minds of Verizon officials.
I'm in the same boat. The neighborhood's served by a new RT, but without the DSL line cards, because the Comcast footprint stops short of reaching us as well. |

Ask the state of PA how what worked out for them. It didn't - Verizon (actually Bell Atlantic) promised PA the world and delivered none of it. |

Don't feel bad. SBC/ATT was so bad they told me I couldn't get DSL and I was 100 feet away from the CO (I'm still there) then all of a sudden I became eligible for 6Mbps Elite service overnight. All happened because people don't know what button to press. |
