Basic anti-competitive action using FUD. Sounds like the computing

Except that, as I noted earlier, there is no competition at all in many
of the neighborhoods where VZ is disconnecting that copper. Like my
neighborhood. Prior to the FiOS deployment I could get telephone only
from Verizon and whatever Comcast offered. That was it. No DSL, no
broadband competition. I'm too far from the CO. This isn't a rural
neighborhood Middle of Nowhere, Maine. This is suburban Natick, MA. And
I couldn't get DSL from anyone.
Holler about VZ's FUD if you want, but be aware that your cries are
themselves FUD.
Richard, you could move:-)
My friend Larry moved from Holland, Ma (no broadband, LD phone to any
ISP) to Union, Ct where he could get Cox. Union is just down the street
from his house in Holland.
