DSL Down :: Day 027

I am having problems sleeping and I am a bit deep into taking naps. I wake up and think of ways to give Verizon the finger for such a shitty service. "Why don't you drop them" you may be thinking. They want to charge me around $80 because they suck and I can't function when I am unplugged.

Sometime I wonder how they can offer a DSL plan that does not need a regular phone line (dedicated line only) and not give all the benefits of technical support to both alike.

I hope they piss blood tomorrow.
