You could simply run this:

	s/Verizon DSL/Cox Cable/g

...and the paragraph would still be correct.

If you have no problems, Cox service works well.

But if do have trouble, it can be a nightmare, and sometimes it will last for
years.

Cox thinks that every cable line they have ever laid is 100% perfect,
and any errors in their systems or lines are customer hallucinations.

To be fair, this is true of a lot of broadband providers. I think the primary
problem is that they have far more customers and lines than they have
resources to take care of.
