Verizon DSL woes?

[mamajoan.livejournal.com]

Does anyone else here have Verizon DSL, and have you noticed it being unbelievably, painfully slow for the past several days? I'm talking, like, click a link and walk away for ten minutes slow. I can hardly get anything to load. Gmail keeps timing out. I've run some diagnostics from dslreports.com and gotten some very odd results.

I was thinking it was just me (I did call Verizon support and the guy tried to lay the blame on my antivirus software *roll eyes*) but I just heard from a friend in the area that she's having issues as well, so I thought I'd ask....

Oh they're definitely promoting it, especially in Boston, Cambridge, and Somerville where they have steadfastly refused to sell FiOS under the local terms, but that doesn't mean they're actually investing a single dime in DSL's underlying infrastructure.
