you do realize that Verizon is for all purposes considered a public utility right? and because of this, they have to perform at a level that is a bit different than comcast. And, if they have the ability to serve your home, they really cant deny you any more than the electric company could.
you might want to check into that. If they are honestly saying they cant run to your house, they may be in violation. I am pretty sure however that they could charge you reasonable fees to run that line to start with.
Actually, I hadn't thought of that, thanks for bringing it up. This has been going on between Verizon and myself for years - "Yes we provide high speed to your location," then "No, we don't provide high speed to your location." We switched completely to Comcast, even for the phone. Verizon started sending letters saying they wanted us back, and I wrote to explain why I left to begin with, and the same song and dance started over again.
But I'll check into what you're saying, I understand they will probably charge to bring a line down the driveway, but they should say that, instead of promising and reneging so many times.
Thanks for the idea!
