On the other 50% of the occasions, the rep basically gave up and either sent another rep to check the problem on site or said to "wait awhile - it will be fixed." All in all, I'd be hesitant to recommend Verizon DSL if they were looking for a fast connection. On the few occasions that the internet has been down, I'd say that the customer service rep was able to walk us through diagnostics and get the service back up and running about 50% of the time. Customer service has been average but not stellar. Overall, the service has been very reliable, with a handful of times over the past few years when service went down. We cannot get HD picture quality at all on this slow speed. Streaming TV shows on Hulu and movies on Netflix is not the best experience - on multiple occasions during an episode or movie, the show stops while the service tries to buffer. This is very slow and VoIP call quality suffers quite a bit if someone else is surfing the internet or streaming a TV show during the call. Plus there is a fair amount of speed lost due to DSL overheads - on the service consistently shows ~ 1.1 Mbps down and ~260 kbps up. I've been a Verizon DSL customer for a long time and it is a reliable service, but the speeds have been and remain horrendously slow!! I pay 41 bucks and change including taxes per month and I don't feel that this is a fair price for the slow 1.5 Mbps down and 300 kbps up speeds provided. Living in College Station, TX limits one's choice of mainstream internet providers to precisely two: Verizon DSL and Suddenlink cable. I'm in a suburb of a large city, less than a mile from the tower. I don't know if I'm going to dump the other one and stay with the 5G router from Verizon or the other yet. I'm not far away from the tower at all, but even then, I feel like the swings are just like being on a DSLAM with any other provider. However the advertised 300/50 Mbps Verizon is advertising, I haven't seen it yet on a test. Not necessarily as fast as we can get when the other ISP decides it wants to be fast. The speeds Verizon is offering may be "Enough". That is what got me looking at Verizon 5G or some alternative that wasn't costing $102 a month. My cellphone hooked up to a wireless router is in here because when I got COVID and had to work from home, The other ISP decided to be offline for 4 hours so the backup plan to run my home laptop, wife's TV, etc is my cell phone. The $35 per month I will get if I decide to stick with Verizon is because I have phone plans already with them. The following day BOTH services decided to drop to 30-40Mbs. I did many tests and it seems this other ISP knew we were making a decision suddenly the scores went up to 300Mbps and 60Mbps upload/download.
