Well . . .

Can't really speak to the issue here; I can say this-- as both a resident of Virginia and a Verizon DSL subscriber-- their DSL service is virtually never down.
In the almost two years I've had it, it's gone down maybe three times, for a grand total of 4-5 hours. Most of those hours were from one incident.

Prior to Verizon I had Adelphia. My payments were funding Rigas family toys and vacations, my anus started throbbing every time I paid the bill (at least with Verizon there's only some minor irritation there), and the Internet service was directly tied to the cable service, so if the cable was out so was the Internet, and the cable was up and down like a yo-yo. Not constantly out, but regularly out for an hour or two, or only working about half-assed.

I'm happy to be shed of Adelphia, glad to see a couple of the Rigas' right where they belong, and ecstatic that FIOS is now available to me when I should so choose to order it.

As always, YMMV.
