Obviously there are lots of folks (including me, located in the Los Angeles area) who are furious about Verizon's unacceptably poor delivery of Netflix content. There are either numerous pauses waiting for buffering or reduced resolution due to Netflix increasing compression ratios to reduce network traffic. Neither of these are what we are paying for, and both are unacceptable.

clearly shows Verizon's steadily decreasing performance delivering Netflix content. At this rate the delivery speed will drop to zero in a few more months. Abd we are expected to continue paying for this?
So far, despite countless postings here about this issue, nothing has been done or appears to be planned to be done. So what can we, the customers and consumers, do to cause some positive action?
How about some sort of petition sent to the FCC ( but addressed to whom or what department?) Or perhaps we flood the head of Verizon (who is that?) with emails or actual letters. Or how about letters to the editors of major newspapers and/or wire services? How about emails to all the popular PC & Internet oriented magazines & blogs?
My sense is that the only way to actually make something happen to fix this situation is to raise enough attention that Verizon management realizes it is in the company's best interest to stop stonewalling and instead actually do something.
To borrow a quote from Paddy Chayefsky: "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!"
