MoopMeep do not just cut the wire yourself. You would be endangering yourself and creating a potentially hazardous condition. Also, you could be charged with damaging Verizon property, a serious offense.
Call the number on your bill and ask them to send someone out to disconnect the wire.

In the meantime, as I wait for that reply.
You are aware that:
Once copper is removed to get back on slower DSL speed to save money, it might cost you money?

Quick quote
*
When he tried to reconnect POTS service via a competing provider, he was told by Verizon that a new NID would run him $3,000.

Hint, hint. Are you sure you would to do that?

Using that logic, why not just use dial up?
I want to get rid of the copper cable because I am not expecting to downgrade and use dsl. I had dsl and it worked great but FIOS is the future and I am not nostalgic enough to hold onto the old copper wire. That and I don't like the fact that all these wires run from the pole to the house, looks kinda messy. Plus, to be honest, even before I posted the first message I had already removed the NID and some of the wire.
I think the verizon tech didn't remove the copper because the install took around 7 hours. I was the first one in the neighborhood to get it installed. The tech said something about the light not being strong enough which I concluded meant that the box down the street wasn't setup properly. So the equipment install was fast but he sat in his truck for a few hours waiting for someone to come and fix the box down the street.
