Re: [PLUG] Comcast Crackdown

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

What if I have a contract with Verizon, could DCA.net help me transfer over 
so that I can get real Internet, and not the crap Verizon spits out as the 
ISP.
I am constantly getting disconnects, and I believe they should tell you 
about the ports being blocked.  Because some people are new at driving, I 
don't see car manufacturers putting govenors on all the cars (Just in case). 
 I would like to do more, and I would definitley go with DCA.net.
