Dialup Shutdown in Massachusetts

Alex Goldman writes on internetnews.com:

Today, a billing dispute is cutting off customers of alternative ISPs as Verizon uses a billing dispute to cut off its competition.

We reached one of the ISPs affected, Matthew Crocker of the CLEC Crocker Communications.

"We had less than 24 hours notice," Crocker told us. "At first, we thought it wouldn't happen, but then we started seeing our PRIs go dark."

Yesterday, the company posted an urgent notice to its dialup customers warning them that the company's dialup service would go down, but that the company would do everything it could to get service back up.
