And as for the people who could never get Verizon DSL in the first place, this news means absolutely nothing. Verizon's upgrades are completely and totally pointless if I can't get their service. I think I hear crickets chirping... gotta run!

In the meantime, cable companies have been expanding high speed service in areas that DSL providers won't touch. If Verizon doesn't get with the program here, then they will go the way of AOL in very short order, especially if cable companies can provide a full featured service package containing cheap, reliable phone service and high speed internet access. People in my area (and quite a few others) have been dumped their second phone lines in droves once cable modems became available. If cable companies continue to expand into telecom the way they have been, then its lights out for the phone companies.

Yup, here in Worcester, Ma only about half the city is elgible for DSL. Earlier today I called and asked if they have any plans to upgrade the rest of the city and make it in reach of DSL (2 years ago I was told Verizon was planning on making DSL availabe to 90% of their customers within 2 years), they replied there are no plans for any sort of expansion of the service. The only way this helps me is if Charter feels they need to be competitive with Verizon and drop the price from their outragous $59.95 for 1500/128. |

Then that's Verizon's problem. I got an email from Adelphia's corporate office last week informing me that they are in the 2nd stage of upgrading the area here. By the end of the year, service should be available. I can't wait:) |

I'm not shedding any tears for Verizon either. I dropped my second phone line the same day I got a cable modem. When the Verizon rep asked why, I told her very plainly it was because I couldn't get DSL and I had no need for second line anymore because of the cable modem. Verizon could have come out ahead financially (as the cost of the DSL more than outweighs the loss of the cost of the second phone line) if they had bothered to upgrade service... but oh well.
