God dammit, don't move this to the complaint thread just yet until you read the rest of it.

Supposedly, all my friends and people in my neighborhood who have DSL Verizon, our servers or w/e modems or again w/e they call it are like....not working. I mean the little sign that goes green when you're connected to the rest of the world doesn't show up so that means the internet doesn't work. For the past 3 freaking days. My friend said he called yesterday and and 45 minutes Verizon said the they had some power failure and were supposed to fix it today! TODAY: THURSDAY 18 2006 MAY (that's not even MLA format)

So is anyone else getting this crap. I had to switch to dial up AOL!!!!! I'm too scared to play BF2 on dial up, I don't even think it's possible and with my Sniper rifle K at 1.69 i'm not going to lose it due to uber lag. So like I said, is anyone else geting this crap from Verizon. Oh and top of that, they're billling my parents for the days it isn't working. If it doesn't boot up by tomorrow i'm calling and asking for four free days of nonstop broadband.

EDIT:


actually this "dial-up" feels like broadband....maybe paying for the AOL Verizon deal wasn't so bad. Well after catching up on internet stuff I might try BF2 to see if I can own without lag. Still, is ne1 getting this crap?

Dial-up can NEVER come close to touching my cable.

My friend had to use dial-up for a while.. he tried them all, netzero, people PC, earthlink..all those ones that are supposed to be ub3r fast..and they all took like 5 minutes to load yahoo.com..I mean c'mon, that's horrible.

Three days?  That's all?  Have patience my young grasshopper.    Let's see, when I had my Verizon DSL modem start the dreaded blink, it was close to 2-weeks before it was restored.

Why?  Because the front line customer & technical service people at Verizon are a bunch of morons.  I mean, they are absolute idiots who only follow pre-scripted trouble-shooting instructions.

But there is hope!!  How did I finally get it fixed?  After much complaining I got in touch with someone above these morons.  I seem to recall that these people are either called supervisors or the "CAT" team (perhaps that is one and the same).

These people are absolute miracle workers ... they took my situation and handled it with amazing competence.  I swear, they knew exactly who to call and they had some amazing authority like the president of Verizon was making people hop to fix the problem.  And it was resolved in 24 hours ... this CAT team person called me back THREE TIMES with status updates, and then TWICE after the repair to ensure that everything continued to work smoothly.

I absolutely felt like a king.  It was like having my own personal uber-repair person at my disposal.  I never imagined Verizon could have such a person.

You must find one of these people to fix your problem.

DSL just flat out sucks. Im switching to Comcast cable since my earthlink internet drops my connection 3 times a day and i have to wait 30 minutes for it to resync at full bandwidth (otherwise it resyncs at 384k down WTF?!)

I've been thinking of going from Comcast to Verizon because I am sick of paying the $43 per month for cable.  Has anyone done this?  Is playing on Verizon at 1.5 mb ok?  I assume it is, but I thought I'd ask before I go through hell to make the change.
