Fairpoint

Fairpoint did file Chapter 11 a few weeks ago. Hopefully they will figure out how to restructure and clean up their mess. That said, I can't imagine the "service" will get any better. After numerous and extended phone calls to get my DSL web service and site back up after the "seamless" transition from Verizon, my perspective is they have a lot of work to do!

That sale was a huge win for Verizon to get out of thousands of miles of expensive land lines and keep their investment in wireless. I hope someone at Fairpoint has to do some explaining to their shareholders about the purchase they made for their future. In the next 10 years I'll be surprised if people still have land line service to their homes...
