They also throttle speeds at prime time hours. ISPs really need more competition; this 'localized monopoly' nonsense is terrible.

Sigh... I wish they'd just tell people the truth.. And not resort to tricks like this.

The last thing you'll get from Verizon is honesty.

At least Verizon is now 100% american

I only got 2 choices in my area.. sigh......... comcast, which throttles BT heavily, and Verizon, which also throttles BT, but slightly less.

QFT.
I'm still on their DSL as they won't upgrade to FIOS here and I have no other option. The Internet went out a while back and I have an online class at school so this is pretty unacceptable for more than a day. They said it would take 24 hours to fix and that was repeated every time I called for the next 5 days. I ended up tethering my laptop to my LTE from AT&T that I have on my phone and running up the data that month after 2 nights of wardriving only to find out everyone I could steal wifi from in this county also had Verizon so it was down.

No Starbucks in this area. It closed many years back. Yes, where I live sucks. That's why I plan to move ASAP.
