Rural resident never has state requirements for internet speed

I continue to be beyond frustrated at the lack of response and attention paid to rural residents and our inability to receive internet access. Our phone lines are so old and our internet never works. The state of PA requires that ALL residents have access to internet and a standard speed. 

I call and report issues to frequently that I am to the point that our phone barely works half the time. I am requesting that our line be serviced and that I have the REQUIRED internet speed into my home. Unless Verizon makes 4G affordable you need you address these issues.  

Post a phone number that I can call and address the CONTINUED issues and have some resolution.

1-800-VERIZON 

however there is no one on the peer to peer help forum that can do more than give you that number.

Good Luck

For phone service, ypou can contact your local public service commission to file a complaint. BTW, this is for FiOS services. Do you have FiOS or DSL?
