    My Other Reviews·Verizon Online DSL
    Originally I had Verizon DSL then Fairpoint bought the lines. The connection is stable, and the pros end there. After 7 years I'm still only at 1.5mbit/384kbit, just like Verizon, Fairpoint doesn't want to do anything about it. Its not my line, my line is able to receive their highest tier (7.2mbit) according to a lvl 2 tech that checked the line.

    Before ordering Fairpoint, I would suggest looking at some of the other DSL or Cable providers in the area, for me it would be cheaper to get DSL though GWI. and it would be at the higher sped (3mbit).

    Edit: I finally dropped Fairpoint and got Earthlink cable through Time Warner;1.5mbit to 7 is a huge jump, and it's only $4 more then what Fairpoint was charging me.
