Time Warner Cable Internet beats up on Verizon DSL


It was an out of the ordinary and creative day today between work at the Texas City Harbor and taking a couple of hours off in between to assist Nancy obtain a broadband high speed cable hook-up with Time Warner-EarthLink. She already had a DSL broadband connection with Verizon but the customer service was less than desirable and at times obtaining a high speed connection was mediocre. See you later Verizon.

Another problem with Verizon service is that consumers here in Galveston County, Texas are forced to have voice service if they need DSL high speed internet service (bundled). Kind of like being forced to purchase a loaf of bread if you need gallon of milk at the grocery store.

Furthermore, who needs a Verizon landline as a home phone when your home number can be ported to a cell phone. So instead of paying for a home line and a cell phone simultaneousl so …now there is only one phone bill $$$. What do you think? Is that a good idea? Of course this is a novel way in saving a few bucks to go into the gas tank instead of Verizon's warchest . One day the big Telecoms will figure it out and provide for the wants and needs of the consumer instead of the usual earnings per share attitude.
