FARMINGTON??? REALLY!!!!! COME ON VERIZON! Farmington is in the middle of FREAKIN' NOWHERE! I have been lobbying for some DSL access at least if not FIOS since God Knows when! I live less than 1 mile from a major highway and less than 100 yards from a neighbor who has DSL, but YOU people keep telling me that I CANNOT get DSL because the ports are all filled. SO EXPAND THE PORTS FOR GODS SAKE!!! I PAY YOU PRETTY WELL FOR HOME PHONE SERVICE THAT IS SHODDY AT BEST BECAUSE YOU REFUSE TO INVEST IN NEW COPPER LINES!

Get with one of your neighbors and transmit a wireless signal with a pair of radios to get DSL if you cannot get it. I thought Verizon was doing away with copper lines since they sold to Frontier as DSL runs off of copper.
