Verizon wants to charge me $625 to dissconnect faulty service

[Steve17403]

I have DSL and phone for my business through Verizon. I've had on-going issues with the DSL service: the router frequently would reboot on its own and I was only getting 3 Mpbs download speed (!). I called Verizon 4 times about this issues in a 4 week time frame. They sent out a tech who confirmed the problem but was unable to fix it. Since I'm running a business I absolutely need working internet service so I switched to Comcast. When I called to cancel my service I was informed that there would be a $625 disconnection fee. The agent was unwilling to waive the fee even though my internet service has not worked properly for over a month now and the technician confirmed there was a problem and was unable to fix it. Suggestions?
