In Washington State, Verizon sold their land-line business to a company called Frontier. The first thing Frontier did, before the ink even dried on the check, was announce that FIOS roll-outs were cancelled forever.<p>I also had to swallow my pride and go over to Comcast.<p>When Frontier asked me why I was cancelling my account, I said: &quot;because you haven&#x27;t upgraded my DSL speed since 1997, and now you&#x27;ve told me you never will.&quot; That operator didn&#x27;t even bother trying to get me to stay after I gave that reason.
