Such as setting up something that measures the ability to perform
with, say, pings to the nearest hop graphed with mrtg or another
suitable graphing tool. All the better if verizon does have some sort of
performance guarantee, however low.
(My current ISP does guarantee ``98.5% uptime'' which is preposterously
low as such things are measured, and even then they do have trouble
keeping up with it. Yes, I do have a graphing tool running, and it did
support me while I was arguing my case toward 2nd level support, once I
finally got to talk to them.)

I have decided to just live with the current state of affairs wrt
Verizon's performance. The only performance guarantee that I am aware
of right now is that I won't get more than 750Kb/s down and (maybe)
no more than 128Kb/s up. There is no lower limit on either transfer
rate. Dealing with the deliberately brain-dead verizon support is more
trouble than it's worth.

Update: Shortly after I posted a suggested Verizon DSL theme song
in 0.verizon.fios, my network response, especially for tin, got a
whole lot better. And network response remains good even today (Sunday).
So I don't think the poor network response times had anything at all
to do with OpenBSD. The problem with ftp upload completions was still
present last time I checked, so it's not yet clear what the origin of
that problem is.
