Until you try to switch from them and they work hard to prevent you from 
doing so. Then you wind up with them sneakily putting garbage on your 
credit report. Then everytime you try to contest it, they pawn it off to a 
different collection company. They always say "We don't have anything to 
do with it anymore!" ... then the minute you dispute it with the 
collection agency, it goes back to Verizon, and they give it to a 
different one. OVER and OVER and OVER.

While they might be building a new network.... just remember:

A: FIOS will eliminate all competition from DSL providers and competitive 
local exchange carriers, with the exception of the cable company. Copper 
plant will go away, and what will be left is Coax and Verizon's fiber

B: Taxpayers put billions into a fund or some such to build a carrier 
neutral fiber network in America and it was never done.

The only reason I'd be interested in FIOS is to run high bandwidth private 
servers on the high thruput outbound service.

But yea, I absolutely hate Verizon as the company.

And their name is stupid too.
