aggieben's Journal: ISP Woes

I have written a semi-long rant regarding the sorry state of ISPs available in my region: link

It was mostly just me blowing off steam, but it really is frustrating to have to deal with Verizon, especially since I don't exactly fit into their nice little customer model that their entire corporate bureaucracy is based on (e.g., I like to ssh from somewhere else to get to my home network to check my email or program or whatever). Their services have become unsatisfactory to me and the people that I have access to are completely obstinate and refuse to work with me to get me a product that suits me.
