DSL modem cannot stay connected - what a surprise....

 For 3 years, I have been fighting with Verizon about their horrible DSL service. I have to reboot my modem 10-15 times a day. I had to cancel Netflix, because I could not stay connected long enough to watch an entire show. I am on my 3rd modem (1 D-Link and 2 Actiontec), because "that's my problem". Guess what - that's not it. We had a technician out again, for 3 hours on June 16th. He replaced all the wiring inside the house, against my wishes. I told the foreigner on the phone that I had connected my modem directly to the NID, and the problem still exists. Then, they supposedly fixed a problem at the bridge. Well, they didn't fix squat. Within 45 minutes of them leaving, I had to reboot the modem again - and again, and again - 7 times that day. Another 12 times the next day. I cannot believe the horrible service I have gotten from Verizon, and I will be writing to Verizon to explain how disappointed I am in their service, their equipment and the capabilities of the technicians (although I don't believe they give a **bleep**, as long as they get your payment). If you could fix anything the first time, I would not have to call 4 or 5 times a year. Does Verizon know -or care- how much money they spend on repeat visits? Just read the freakin' forum! "Dropped connections" has to be the number one problem with the DSL service! WAKE UP!!!!!!
