Re: [PLUG] Veriizon ADSL

["Nicholas Vettese" <pluglist@hotmail.com>]

My line has been up since July, and I have never experienced an outage.  I 
use my PCs at home so I can connect from work.  4 months, and never a 
problem.  My friends who have @home, are getting at least two outages a 
month, and sometimes it lasts for days.
