I ditched Verizon DSL and signed up for Optimum Online. It’s a little more expensive, in the long run, but my bandwidth has at least tripled, if not quadrupled. Verizon had a much-publicized "HI we’re speeding up your DSL!!" campaign. Nothing here. Very, very pokey "high speed" Internet. I called and they said I was already provisioned at the highest possible speed. Huh? I’m pretty sure our CO is just past Atlantic Avenue, so that doesn’t make a lot of sense. Anyway, goodbye, Verizon DSL. I will not miss you.

We signed up for Optimum Online too. In fact, the circular announcing that our block was in their market came just as we were about sign up for Road Runner. We were big fans of all the wireless users in the St. Johns/Underhill/Sterling area for keeping us connected while we hemmed and hawed. 🙂
Verizon makes it impossible to get to x5064 to contact the helpful Sean. Is there another direct number for him? All other Verizon DSL people have been of no help. Any ideas?
