Subject: [SLUG] Verizon tech admits service rolling disconnects
Hi Everybody!
So today, after a month I *finally* got to speak to a verizon tech. He checked my equipment and found that I had full speed service, and that is my problem.
Verizon doesn't have enough backbone access to service everyone they have sold service to so they randomly disconnect the top and middle tier users to save bandwidth. Saves them a bundle which shows up as management salaries and perks. Works for the guys at the top.
He said if I cut my service to low tier, about 767 or thereabouts, I would not notice the speed difference and they don't disconnect the little guys so on average I would have *more* access.
Thoughts? Comments? So any of you use the low speed verizon?
-- Regards,
Pete
