online chat "help" or lack thereof

[sgr2]

I have just wasted over 1 1/2 hours with Avtar through Verizon online chat and nothing was resolved.  I contacted Verizon due to slow internet speed.  Before I called, I did everything one is to normally due: power down the modem, restart my computer, disconnect the phone line, run a speed test, etc.  The tech guys makes us go through all of the steps again!  Then, I find out that I am one of three customers that he is juggling, trying to "help".  Nothing resolved, still have slow speed.  Totally frustrated.  Why can't I get Fios?  Or, perhaps, I should switch to Comcast?  Any thoughts?
