Heard through the Verizon retiree grapevine that Verizon was looking to sell their landlines in northern New England (VT,NH,ME). They have already unloaded former GTE areas that they acquired in places like Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama + Hawaii. Hopefully they will be unsuccessful in doing this as they were in trying to divest themselves of upstate NY. We are just starting to get FIOS capability here in northern NJ. We suffer with Cablevision and Time Warner depending on the town. I dumped Cablevision last year for DirecTV and can't believe how much better my reception is. Cablevision blamed it on my TV's, and every time the wind blew above 10 mph my service was spotty. I'm looking forward to FIOS for both internet and TV.
