Merchantville, NJ | New Jersey always gets screwed!
It seems to me that the state of New Jersey is always behind when it come to technology. This is just a reality check from verizon to the BPU, if Verizon plans to spend a quarter-billion dollars the prices have to go up. DoH! |

| It seems that Verizon should figure out these sorts of wholesale rate questions before they move forward with $250 million investments in infrastructure. Verizon had to have the backing of their wholesale customers before beginning this, so the only logical conclusion is that they are trying to change the terms mid-stream. |

It's not just New Jersey
It's not just New Jersey -- it's all of Verizon territory.
Honestly, the best broadband news I could get is that Verizon is filing for Chapter 7. Then maybe the next generation ILEC would treat me like a customer and try to provide the product that I want to pay for. |

| You are sure right. All of Verizon territory is behind the times. That's way I won't buy Verizon Online DSL. SBC, Qwest and Bellsouth wipe the mat with Verizon on DSL.
...and that's Chapter 11, not 7.

I think he meant Chapter 7...
Chapter 7 = dissolution/liquidation
Chapter 11 = reorganization (company may survive) |

Re: New Jersey always gets screwed!
verizon has one thing on it's mind in NJ! MONEY!
if VZ broadband customers don't get the natural deployment of multimegabit technology within 1 year, just take your business to the cable company, Verizon understands one thing, MONEY, when they ask you that silly litle question:
"Have I provided you with outstanding service today, answer
NO, you have not. I will take my business to cablevision or some other broadband provider and when enough customers switch, its too bad on them. they will get the message- the customer has some leverage here as well. I would begin that 1 year countdown today, if by 4-10-2005 they have not increased broadband beyone that 1.5 megabit or nothing if your too far by then, go to the cable company... Innovate or die..remind customer service every few months as well that the countdown has started, and keep them updated.. mark your calendars... |

The hole in your plan is that some of us have no alternatives. So Verizon lets us putter along on half-speed dialup connections.
It must be nice to have a cable company. |
