[geeks] Why I hate Verizon Online

[John Francini]

Probably a dumb-ass question, but here goes.  Where's 603-429-xxxx?

One place I checked indicated it was Litchfield, NH -- one of the  
former Adelphia territories that's now Comcast.  Why not switch to  
them instead of Verizon?

j, in Nashua, with a bunch of friends who live in Adelphia territory...
