Any other Verizon customers enduring long internet outages?

My internet service went out at 6 am Sunday morning and wasn't restored until 4:30 pm on Monday afternoon.

Second time in two weeks I've gone thru this. A neighbor, also with Verizon, said she noticed that the service got wonky everytime they pushed their ads for $14.99 dsl. At one point, my service was disappearing around 3 pm every afternoon.

1. I ripped out my Verizon modem when they admitted they were

doing "experiments" during business hours.

2. Say what?

6. No kidding. They were testing new systems

It was back in 2001 and cable modems were unproven, so I installed both when I came back to NYC. But the DSL was never reliable and I became too friendly w/tech support. Finally, one of 'em spilled the beans.

3. I ordered Verizon DSL on July 30 (in NYC).

The damn thing is still not up and running as of August 7.
