Share Your Ideas with Verizon

I received an email today from Verizon that stated they will no longer offer Internet alone. You must buy a land line with it for another $26. Who uses land lines now days?

This is like my local grocer telling me I can only shop there if I also buy cloth dippers. Doesn't matter if I need them or not!

They are already overpriced. I can save $5/month by switching, and I am in the process of doing that.

Who in their right mind will pay $70/month for Internet if that's all they want?

Verizon appears to be money grubbing, ignorant, or maybe BOTH!

I think they have found that stand alone dsl service works much better with an active phone line which gives the customer a better experience with more consistent speed and less time on the phone with tech support or having technicians come out constantly.  i think you can get a basic regional plan and 1meg for 34.99/mo or regional with up to 15 meg  (depending on where you live) for 49.99/mo
