Latest News From Chicago ; Verizon DSL War

Yeah, Chicago http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4468275.stm

---------

Verizon DSL in Brooklyn yesterday was too slow to be measured...slower than dialup. Their technical support people are completely out of the loop and cannot say what the problem is. Tonight, it beat dialup-- it is all the way up to 68.4 kbits.

Called Verizon's billing dept today, and they gave me a rebate of $60 for the past two months of horrid service. That is fair, but I would prefer to have something close to the level of service I am supposed to get. ( 3000 kbits download )
