Verizon inadvertantly disconnected my DSL service a couple of days ago. After three or four hours on the phone with various levels of technical support and customer care people, finally got it straightened out. Turns out Verizon has to process me as a “new” subscriber to get my DSL service turned back up. So, no DSL until around 3 December or so. In meantime, I’ll have to make do with a plain old 56K modem to connect to the Internet.
