They are indeed separate companies, and have been for at least a year now. That noted, if you want to experience a sharp drop in your wired phone service quality, switch from Verizon to AT&T. Ditto cell phone service. Contrariwise, if you want your DSL service to go completely to hell, switch from AT&T to Verizon. (Joke I've heard - the reason Verizon DSL gives you the first 3 months free is that that's how long it will take them to get it working properly.) I know too many people who will swear to the truth of that joke. Mike- -- If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs...
