I had a perfectly functioning DSL internet connection (data line only) for almost a year. I called Verizon on 11/4 to order a speed upgrade - at my expense! On 11/7 my internet was completely disabled and remains so after almost a week now. Over 40 calls to tech cust svc have resulted in absolutely nothing. I still do not have a schedule as to when my internet will be restored. The best information I received was advising there is some sort of "wiring problem" at the Central Office. In frustration, I researched and found the location of the non-descript Central Office supporting my line number. After ringing the service bell, someon wearing a verizon employee i.d. answered, listened to my story, went into the back room to "check my connection" and came out and told me nothing was wrong. Filed A Complaint With The California Public Utilities Commission. Thanks for the great advice Verizon. You guys suck!
