Verizon, Fiber Or Die? 291
dynamator writes "I live about 550 meters from my Verizon central office. I pay for their higher-tier 'Power Plan' DSL service, which boasts 3 Mbps down and 758 Kbsp up. For the past year, I've enjoyed excellent performance on this line. However, this past month Verizon has been hooking up my neighbors with FiOS, their new fiber-to-the-home system, and guess what, my connection speed and dependability have taken a nosedive. What can I do to build the case that this is really happening? Will anyone, least of all Verizon, care? Are they making me a fiber offer I can't refuse?" We discussed a few times last year what Verizon may be up to.

8Mbit? Come on... Verizon is offering 20/20 symmetric service for less than Comcast's pathetic "PowerBoost".
But wait! Then you go on to say you can't get the full 8Mbit? Why are you still on the bandwagon?

HAH! My speed is faster than your speed, and my modem is bigger too. And don't let me get started on the size of my hard drive, it's really, really big!
Ok, when I was little it was all about the size of your carburetor.
Get off my lawn.
