It doesn't need Verizon for the signal, but it's their copper.  I'm 
still relying on Verizon to maintain the physical copper cable.  And 
they're not doing a very good job of that. 

> And doesn't cut your copper 

I've been thinking about that.  It really irks me, but looking at it 
objectively, the copper is broken.  How hard should I fight to keep 
broken, unusable copper they won't fix right and I can't fix myself?

...And our government can be run by selfless, logical, focused leaders 
that consider both the long term and the big picture for the betterment 
of all our people, but it's not.  My copper breaks a few times a year 
and it's a battle to get them out to "fix it".  They have no motivation 
to maintain my copper.  They hate copper and want to move everyone over 
to FiOS.
