I wish Vz would get FIOS I-net service into Somerville already... 
I don't care about their TV service.   But I'm interested in what 
you mean by "slow connections"?  Is it initial connections being 
slow?  Or if you go to a website and, say, download a multi-megabyte 
data file does it take a while?
