 | | Anon | Verizon speeds If you wait a while you may get switched to their 768/128 speed when do the conversions in your area. Don't have any solid idea when that will happen. Probably not all that much of a consolation in any case. | |

but heres my comment on VerizOFF
If you can, at any cost, DO NOT USE VerizOFF aka HellATLANTIC
I first HAD to get VerizOFF because NO OTHER DSL providers was available, the month I got installed, 2 OTHER DSL providers became available, I call Verizon and CANCELLED my order ( 14 days after installation ) because they say they allow cancellation within 30 days.
They said they would send a package that I need to return their equipment in, it already has the RMA and pre-paid, I didnt receive it in a week, I called back, they promised AGAIN to send the pre-paid RETURN box with the address
They still did NOT send, after calling back and CUSSING them out because they NOW THREATHENED to CHARGE the EARLY TERMINATION FEE because we past 30 days, they agreed to send the RMA package for their equipment, they still did NOT send it.
I had contacted another DSL ISP by now, but when they contacted HellATLANTIC, BellAtlantic told them it would take 3 to 6 months for HellAtlantic to RELEASE the line after I cancel, well I couldn't do without DSL for that long because of classes and business that I do online.
Heres what type of service I have been receiving from VerizOFF for the last 6 weeks or so.
I have the 768/128 package
Since day one I've been getting 704/96 average, but lately, on TOP of that, I and many people I know have experienced the same problem, NO DATA for up to 2 minutes
Imagine you're an administrator of a site and you're providing LIVE Customer help, you're chatting and the customer asks you a question, you type your response and press SUBMIT/SEND, the DATA is sitting ( sending ) on your desktop for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, thats very unreasonable, then verizOFF gives you data for 2 Minutes, then you cant send or receive data again for another 60 seconds to 2 minutes.
What type of crappy service is that ?
Theres no EMAIL COMPLAINT form or email-address on their site, so you have to CALL and wait sometimes 30 minutes to get a CSR.
I dont wanna CUSS out the CSR because they aren't the ones thats controlling the data flow ( or are they ? )
But as soon as my 1 year commitment ( that I was forced into ) is completed, I will be going with SATELLITE or CABLE DSL service,
I advice to "STAY AWAY FROM VERIZON/VERIZOFF"
OFF because thats the type of service they provide.
2 minutes ON, 1 minute OFF = 66 Percent .
Now who would be happy if they get 66 % of their check on payday ?
or 66 % of gas that you paid for ?
verizon is CRAP.
Most times I have to resort to my 56K account in order not to have interrupted service during LIVE CUSTOMER HELP chats.
verizon is a ZERO | |

| Re: verizon SUCKS I think that a lot of people do a lot of complaining about Verizon and their DSL. I have Verizon DSl service and it is a wonderful service. You need to make sure that you read the Verizon terms and conditions very carefully and no one is forcing you to use their service. You have the right as a consumer to go to another DSL company, which there are a lot out there. First, this is residential DSL and not business DSL. So basically any residential high speed access is meant for entertainment purposed. My suggestion to you, is to stop the complaining because basically you are just one of those customers who bother customer service all the time and really dont know what the hell you are talking about. | |

| Ok, I agree Verizon could be better but I had worse when I had Earthlink Dial Up. Constant busy signals, dropping me every time I played a game because I didn't change screens and they kept upping their prices.
Overall I am happy with Verizon. Never had an outage in the approximate 6 months I've had it. Their e-mail servers need to be fixed but other than that no problems. Since NJ limits my speed to 640/90, I am happy with getting in the low 500's and 80. You get used to the speed and it starts to seem slow, but go back to a dial up and you will realize how fast it really is. | |

| What are you talking about. Considering you are an obvious employee of Verizon it's even more amzing your answer. As a Telco how long would you be in existance if you did not provide dial tone to your "Entertainment" residential customers. Remmeber it's the residential customers that give reason for your business customers. They may be a cheap pain in the butt but they are the reason for the existance of your service. How many business customers would it take for your company to reach economies of scale on all the high end switching equipment you need to buy. Your margins may be higher with the business account but you need both customers, otherwise why are you providing the service? | |

| Intelligence It shows how mature some people are when they result to name calling. EVERY ISP reserves the right to change TOS at any time. Time Warner RR will start imposing caps, ATT Broadband will have tiered pricing, and neither one of them has to notify anyone of anything because it is in the TOS. It people bothered to read TOS agreements, they would find out most state that connections are not guaranteed, even if you are paying good money for it. Yes I do work for an ISP, and no, I don't always agree with policies, but to attack someone and call them a dumba## for speaking the truth, shows your stupidity. 100% CORRECT
WE ARE #1 VERIZOFF LOLOLOLOL | |

| Re: Intelligence So true. I work as tech for att and it's not my fault that att makes these rules. So don't start yelling at me becuase you aren't getting the speeds that you think you should because you can yell all you want but there is nothing that any of the techs can do. I understand that you are mad and i don't might you venting but don't make it personal.

| Upgraded DSL here... VZ will never offer FIOS in their entire footprint.
VZ just upgraded their DSL offering here to 7.1/768.
I believe that means they have no intention of offering FIOS here any time soon if ever.

Crisfield, MD | Re: Upgraded DSL here... VZ also upgraded my area (DelMarVa Peninsula) to 7.1 Mbps as well. I seriously doubt we will EVER see FIOS deployed here. We don't drive BMW's and have a summer home in the Hampton's, so they seem to cherry pick where it will be deployed. | |
