Pumps' Perplexities

You just got to read the "fine print".......Verizon, just like my
cable company, Comcast, is trying to "woo" customers with
their fast computer internet service......Sometimes you can
get 4 to 6 advertisements in one hour of television viewing......

But here is the "fine print": Connection speeds are between
your location and the central office serving your location.......
Actual download and upload speeds will vary based on numerous
factors, such as the condition of wiring at your location,
computer configuration, Internet and network CONGESTION,
and the speed of Web site servers you access, among other
factors......Speed and uninterrupted use of the service ARE NOT
GUARANTEED.........

If there is a problem with the "line" the "fine print" reads:
Customer is responsible for backup battery replacement.....
Backup battery does not supply power for the Internet, telephone
or cable service........In case of power failure, 911 service will
be available until (your) backup battery expires........Certain
telephones, answering machines and other telephone equipment
not meeting industry standards may not work with service
provided on the network........

As usual, pay them a lot of money, and they have no responsibility
for anything if things go wrong with their Internet, Cable or
Telephone service........Pumps
