Fact1: I choose dial up landline service as a brass tacks answer to hacking: Hacking can't happen, unless someone climbs a pole.
Sorry, that's not correct. Once you connect to the Internet, you're just like every other Verizon user, no matter which "physical layer" you use to get online.
Fact 2: Verizon has disconnected dial up landline without admitting it to anyone. But they are still billing.
Do you mean that Verizon no longer offers a dial-up, modem-based access, or that they have disconnected your phone line?
Result: As I write, landline dial up to all search engines (but not other web sites) has been blocked to my internet connection. I can send but not receive mail.
Well, then, you have /some/ connectivity. That tends to obviate problems in the physical layer, so please tell us more about the problem.
This is an outrage. The customer service in India can't speak our language and verizon pretends that they're gonna "fix" it, except that they can't and just transfer you to someone else. By the way, I don't need a technican, cust support and any other clown at the end of an 800 line.
And Verizon doesn't need any complaints from customers, so they hire firms 7,605 miles away to give the impression that they care about you. As others have suggested, you must bypass them.
Yes, I have wireless (which is how you got this message) but that's not the point.
Do you mean that you have email access via a cellular phone, or that you're using a WiFi hotspot? It's important.
When are We, the People going to stand up for our rights in this country and start running it again, instead of letting the oligarchy that is draining our taxes and right of access run over us with a tank? Remember the Iron Curtain? Remember Radio Free Europe? What's the difference between then and now?
