In NY - Long Island...I was pretty much forced off of copper.
Verizon switched my noisy staticy copper pair five times and every time told me to go to FIOS. They told me I had to get internet with the phone service. That bugged me, but eventually I did it and saved money, but my father refused to go along at his house. He wanted FIOS internet and they refused to sell it to him without phone service.
They can bundle whatever they want, but they basically refused to fix my copper. I felt like they were saying - hey, we want all of your money or none of it. AND they will not stop buggin me to add on TV service. Verizon called my house 3 times a day for weeks around the time that I switched to FIOS. I hate telemarketers and hate those who abuse the right to call me because I'm their customer. SO annoying!! UGH!! But I hate Cablevision more than Verizon so I am staying with them for now:)
