I have had dsl from Verizon for about 3 weeks now. I signed on with

through http://www.dslreports.com/, and the speed is indeed as
advertised.
Yes but. you cannot run servers, you only get a dyanmic ip and you
have to use
pppoe. If that is good enough for you then good luck. Unfortunately
for
a lot of people it is not. This seems to be a classic case of you
get what you
pay for.
Yup ... that's why DCAnet's version is a much better deal.
Read the fine print:
... the Verizon deal is 19.95 per month for 3 months; 29.95 for
months 4-12; "At the end of the one-year commitment period, your rate
will increase to the then current month-to-month rate. To maintain
your discounted monthly rate, you must agree to an additional one-
year commitment or have a qualifying local and long distance plan."
And those numbers are all be for FUSF and all of the other taxes and
stuff.
Plus, "if service is cancelled between months 2 and 12, a $99 early
termination fee applies."
