For the record, I accepted the solution to my original post as advised by support, in an effort to be able to unlock the original post but it didn't work.
Please review the original post "CO needs upgrading, can't provide the service I'm paying for." for the beginning details of my issue.
Here's the update and final word from Verizon....
Worked on the issue in private support from 2/28/13 to 3/15/13. I was told my issue was submitted to the DSL escalation team & engineering group. I was told that it is a capacity issue at the CO, where upgrades are needed, so at the present time there is nothing more they can do until the upgrades are completed.
Needless to say, I'm not happy. Now I'm currently looking into compensation in the form of some type of reduction in my monthly fee until the issue is resolved at the CO and I'm able to get the speed I'm provisioned. Wish me luck 🙂 this is my last option.
As I stated in my original post, I really have had a good relationship with Verizon up until now. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing a light at the end of the tunnel so I may have to make a change. I'll update this if anything changes
