FARMINGTON, Pa. -- More consumers and businesses in the Farmington area can enjoy the benefits of high-speed Internet access now that Verizon Online has expanded its availability in Fayette County. Verizon Online DSL is now available to 899 additional subscribers in the area.

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.
