Hello, can you hear me?

oo

Alright. Though the Verizon truck was standing in front of the door and two big fellows were working on the cables in the backyard, my internet service was slow as molasses. So that you don't think that I am exaggerating, the picture above was taken from my backyard window. I ask you: does this seem like state of the art equipment? How does America hope to get Iraq up to speed if a U.S. telephone company can not even provide New Yorkers with decent telephone service. What are your thoughts?
