Even RIDGE has DSL... You must REALLY be out in the boonies..Homer J said:Ours went out briefly the day of the storm. It's hard to believe that there are still places with phone lines above ground, but then again, this is St. Marys county. We have been told that the chance of us ever getting DSL in our area (just north of Dameron) is non existent, even though there are places south of us that have it. WTF.
I live in Park Hall right off of Rt. 5 and we don't have it. Hell, Comcast won't even serve us.itsbob said:Even RIDGE has DSL... You must REALLY be out in the boonies..
That's ridiculous. Have you been calling regularly?sockgirl77 said:Phone line going across my driveway has been drooping down since an hour after the storm started. I have 2 inches of clearance between my side mirror and the line. It was reported to Verizon within an hour of it happening. Supposedly they are sending someone out to "look" at it tomorrow.![]()
Yeah. I get put on hold for 45 minutes. It's all just a damn scam to ring up my cell bill. I never get to talk to a live person. If they don't show up tomorrow, I'll have to go another route. Is there place that I can report it to? It has to be some sort of safety issue. :shrug:Mikeinsmd said:That's ridiculous. Have you been calling regularly?

If they can get a phone connection at the box outside the house, but no connection in the house... the problem most likely is in the house...jenbengen said:Verizon is trying to tell us it is our home and trying to charge us.
