Just…just stop…please?

Okay, Verizon. I get it. FIOS is awesome. So awesome you have to tell me about it. Three times a week. But, check this out: I live in an apartment complex. That’s that little “Apt….” deal in my address. The chances of me getting fiber are slim and/or none. Not because I don’t want it (oh, yes, I do), but because I don’t own the building. I don’t even own the interior. If you want to market FIOS to me, sell the property managers on upgrading all of the buildings (or at least D building) to FIOS, then send me your little cards. Oh, and I’m not even in a service area for FIOS yet. Despite being 1/2 mile from the CO (even less by Point A to Point B).

Oh, and you can stop telling me about how wonderful your high speed internet is. I know it’s wonderful. I’m already a customer. And paying for the fastest service I can get. Seriously, would a “IsCustomer” column in your mailing list database slow you down?

Look, when I buy a condo, I’ll harrass the HOA until they let me get FIOS, then I’ll happily give you all of my moneys for the fastest service I can afford. Then promptly violate the Terms of Service by hosting my email server and LAN parties from my condo. Sorry, but with that kind of bandwidth, you seriously won’t notice. You probably wouldn’t even notice over DSL.

The one thing I already don’t like about this condo that I’m looking at is the lack of a deck. It makes putting up an antenna kind of a pain in the butt.
