Adventures in loop lengths continue for many Verizon users, after the company modified their method of determining a user's distance from the central office. This user claims he was incorrectly downgraded to slower speeds not once, but twice - and is still jumping through hoops via Verizon presidential appeals to get his connection corrected. When Verizon upgraded upstream speeds last May, many users suddenly reported they were anywhere from two to six thousand feet further from the CO, presumably because the telco implemented a more accurate measuring method.
