I think there's another thread around here detailing everyone's experiences.<br /> I'd assume if you sign up for business internet instead of residential you'd get a better level of service, but I could just be wishful thinking.<br /> I'd definitely give them a try over verizon DSL, I know that shi*t is painfully slow. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/park-slope/what-to-get-instead-of-atrocious-verizon-dsl#post-762533 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 15:47:51 +0000 Mamacita 762533@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>Had TW for years here, shitty spotty service, troubles every month (constantly for years) and switched to Verizon. Only 1 issue in the past 1 1/2 years -and it was resolved within a day. So there you go. Until FIOS comes we only have those 2 options to choose from... </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/park-slope/what-to-get-instead-of-atrocious-verizon-dsl#post-762531 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 14:42:45 +0000 booklaw 762531@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>I have Time Warner Cable now, and am pretty happy with the service. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/park-slope/what-to-get-instead-of-atrocious-verizon-dsl#post-762530 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 14:40:10 +0000 Sluggo 762530@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>Funny, I had TW years ago, and it was spotty service; I had to constantly unplug and replug the modem when the connection went down-- that was their only solution for it. When I needed them to come out, they were really unreliable. Now I have Cablevision, and I think they're great! Almost never have an issue, the customer service people are lovely and helpful, and the rare occasion a service guy has to come, it's ASAP and they are never late. Go figure. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/park-slope/what-to-get-instead-of-atrocious-verizon-dsl#post-762525 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 13:17:33 +0000 The Psycho-ologist 762525@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>I had Time Warner once upon a time and had very good internet service. I know that I endlessly streamed netflix while downloading other movies I wanted to keep and never had a problem. Now I have sucky Verizon dsl because its either that or Cablevision where I live. To me Cablevision is satan incarnate. So now I buy bootleg DVDs because well Verizons Dsl service is only marginally less crappy than Cablevision. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/park-slope/what-to-get-instead-of-atrocious-verizon-dsl#post-762502 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 17:42:38 +0000 Sluggo 762502@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>You guys always give such great advice! My BF runs his business from home, and since he's lost his internet/phone connection AGAIN--this is the second time in just a couple of weeks; last time it was out for days--he is more than ready to dump Verizon and their useless tech support.</p> <p>He has DSL running off a landline. He wants to keep the landline so he has consistent service for the business phone, which is internet-based. He'd be willing to go to cable, but it's Time Warner in his neighborhood (the Slope)--not sure they're any more reliable. No Fios available. I hope this description makes sense. </p> <p>What are his options? Thanks for your feedback! </p>
