RE: [PLUG] DirectTV DSL Service...any thoughts?


I did read their terms...they are very reasonable..didn't see anything
hidden.

But, I don't think they are using Verizon...as they give static IPs (guess
dhcp'd ip that never expires).  I'm waiting to hear back from fast.net as
well as for a little more money I can have 1.5 MB/s.

Did you go and read their Terms Of Service on the web site?  They may
have restrictions not listed in the glossy ad.  I received the offer
also, but haven't read any more than what's in the mailer.  Sounds very
reasonable, although I assume they are still using Verizon (at least in
my area.)
