The latest from DCANet:
UPDATE: Verizon has confirmed that it is a fiber cut and they are working out in the street to repair the problem.


Anyone up for taking a trip over to Delaware Ave and heckling Verizon? :-)

Only if we can make a stop at Comcast before or after. ;)

Sure, but we'll need to pick up some baseball bats and vodka first.

*Grins.* Since I don't drink, I'd use my vodka to help set a few things on fire.

Wait, so someone cut one of Verizon's cables instead of the other way around? Must've been one of the companies they contract to lay the FIOS lines that read a map upside down or something.

*Walks up to the Verizon trucks and yells,

"Yo! Can you hear me now!? Didn't think so!"

Just to be a little pedantic, that slogan is from Verizon Wireless which is a different company that has different investors. And, having been a customer of both companies for several years, I can say that VZW's service level is a lot higher than Verizon's.

Ahh...thanks for pointing out the difference there.

*Hugs*

Yeah, I can't really think of anything bad to say about VZW, but I loathe Verizon.
