Verizon is the most pathetic ISP ever. It is impossible to expect a sustained dsl connection of 1.5mb/s (thats advertised, in reality its more like 1) for more than 30 minutes. Their partnership with Yahoo! is decent, but completley incompatible with Windows Vista (not to mention they throw Norton AV in with the deal, aka your computers
<snipped>).When they tell you that their upgrading to "FioS" and charge you an extra 20$ a month for the "upgrade" do not expect it to be completed for at least 3 years. Not only is their ability to coordinate phone and internet service faulty (they have a severe problem with dsl filters) but they have no [competent] help center in which to address any problem(s). If you call their "help center" number, you are automatically transferred to Abu in Calcutta, whose only response seems to be "power restart the modem." Again, I close by begging anyone who is thinking about going dsl to STAY AWAY!!!!! from Verizon.
