WOW. I just cannot get anything done when it matters with Verizon DSL.

Whether its trying to register for online classes or check my student email, play an online video game, or just browse the web in general, it is just not viable to depend on a steady connection. This is unnatural. Basically Verizons connection flashes on and off, and you cannot count on it to stay up even if it has been steady for more than a few minutes. It is going to go down again, not a matter of if, but when.

Verizon DSL is like 1200baud tonight. I said to myself, “did some more towers come down, what gives?”

OK I had Comcast for about a week. It’s nice to be able to watch youtube and listen to net radio without the connection going dead.
As for the online gaming Modern warfare 2 for the PS3′s bad, but not as bad as it was with the DSL. I’m reading lots of people have problems with PS3 online. I hope Sony can fix it soon, or maybe I got to replace that with a 360? Times too important to deal with junk.

I got the Verizon 3mbps service and home phone package. I wasn’t happy with the deal I got though them from the get go. The home phone service is a joke I asked if I can get voice box and caller id at the time of order, they said yes, and when the service started I found out they don’t have a voice box in my area, and the caller id always showed “number unknown” or what ever it was? The DSL started out OK, but for about the last 7 month it’s really bad can’t watch videos too good, and unusable for online games. to really rub it in they canceled my DSL for $10 for the first 6 month because I changed my worthless home home service to the one without voice box and caller id.
I’m getting Comcast cable now for the internet and phone. I tried it out in my area and works lots better. I know about the cap or what ever your suppose to hate about them, but I’d rather have limited good service over unlimited junk.

DSL is crap, I’m tired of playing xbox 360 and getting disconnected every five seconds. It goes off about 25 times a day. They’ve sent out 5 people to try to fix it and it never works. Whenever i call i get some “Prince Alababa” who can’t speak a lick of English. They just suck, their unreliable.

We will never do business with Verizon again. Our first modem would run hot and stop working. We had to keep ice packs on it. We went to cancel service and were instead talked into taking a new modem which we were assured would not have that problem. Once again we must keep ice packs near it so we can stay online. That’s IF it’s not in DORMANT mode. Nothing explains dormant mode, what causes it, etc. It just happens. It’s infuriating to PAY THIS MUCH for service and be unable to get and/or stay online.

I advise anyone researching a new internet provider, to STAY AWAY FROM VERIZON. They talk a good game to get you signed up, but their service ends there.

DONT GET ANY DSL. i have verizon DSL and it blows! If i were to go on a suicidal rampage and kill every1 i would blow up all of verizon’z offices because they made me CRAZY! My internet always quits, always fails, and is slow as hell. Ive broken to date more than 5 modems and a few routers… If i have to live with this DSL BULL SHIT any longer ill prob. call india or mexico and start speaking in broken english asking them to get me a guy/women in AMERICA who speaks god damn english. And then ill prob. start calling them a mother f***** scam artist and then hang up. And when the police come to my house for vebal assult ill give them my f****** modem as evidence of antangonizing me! NEXT STOP cable.

Verizon is terrible. Unfortunately I have to put up with for another week before I go back to school. I’ve had Verizon at my home for a few years, and every year in the summer it seems that the connection decides it wants to not work properly. Same thing happened last year in July, same thing has been happening this July and well into August. It’s progressively gotten worse.

We have a 3 MB line here, the best one available to us here. My max speed now is 1700 KBs, this is not very fast for a heavy internet user. As of right now it’s 608 KBs, and it’s been down to 300. The connection is about as stable as a crack whore, it’s gone up and down more times then I can count in the last half hour. It’s a joke.

My dad has called tech support multiple times, and yet the problem still persists. Every time they tell him some crap about how there is a problem with the line in our house. We have had 2 tech guys here in the last 2 weeks. First one said everything was fine, two days later the problem starts up again. Dad calls tech support again, gets no where, the send a tech guy last Saturday. Problem rears its head again Monday.

I can’t wait until I get back to school next week, I’ll have RR there and not have to put up with this crap. I’m tired of the connection going up and down every 5 minutes. It’s sunny without a cloud in the sky right now, yet connection isn’t working. Maybe someone looked at a power line the wrong way. Don’t even get me started on when there is a cloud, rain, or a storm.

Stop paying them until they provide the service they contracted for. They are obviously in breach of contract and should not be paid.
