[PLUG] Verizon bandwidth upgrade

["Andrew Puschak" <barberooza@hotmail.com>]

Well Brian I've had Directv on the phone and Verizon alot. They try to 
ignore you waying they can't do anything. But if you just complain that your 
paying good money and not getting the speed, they listen. Verizon was 
suppost to do a line test recently using one of thier modems on my line. I 
haven't heard back from them yet. They said if the line is "bad" then 
they're fix it which means they'll switch my telephone line to another pair 
of wires. Although I had this done when the telephone went out last winter, 
the lines were too tight and snapped in the cold at the junction down the 
road and they switched it to another line. Next they want to test the wires 
in my home. So I got to be home for them to test from my modem location. 
This is the usual home wiring scheme where if everythings ok they don't 
charge but if somethings awry then $160. plus whatever else the think they 
need to do. So after I let them do that, hopefully they'll consider 
upgrading my bandwidth at Verizon because they're the ones putting a cap on 
it, now Directv. So I'll keep you posted of my "lobbying with Verzion and 
hope to see higher numbers soon! Thanks for your interest
