Verizon DSL

I found out that they're offering it for $15/month now. I'm paying $21/month now for msn dialup. so why not make the switch i figure. It says i can still use msn software, so i can probably keep my email addy.
With the DSL i wont tie up the phone anymore (which isn't really a problem now because i have call waiting)
The one catch is to get that rate, i need to sign up for a year. Everyone i work with seemed to have cox? Are they any better? We have Cox phone and cable so I might save someting by going to them. After looking, i couldn't find anything about cox dsl....just high speed internet (same thing )

for $30/month i can get speeds up to 3.0M, but i think that 768K at $15/month is good enough with me. With the dialup i connect at 50K

Before i sign up is there anyone else here that has VERIZON dsl that can comment about them?

I've been using the Verizon DSL for $29.95/month for over a year now and have been very happy with the service as well as any tech support I've needed. Which has been very little up to this point.
Better check to see if it's available in your area and you need to be a Verizon phone customer as well in order to get those advertised rates.

I've had it for close to two years.No complaints.Will never do dial-up again.Jump on the offer while its still available.Read the fine print though as there are federal fees etc. also involved.

Jump all over the deal because if you are used to 50K dial up then 768 dsl will be smoking!!

If you can get it then sign up for DSL as cable is just WAY too expensive. I currently pay 49.99/month which I believe is too high.

Verizon is currently in a HUGE project to get fiber to homes and when they do that the there will be some nice competition and lower prices for consumers.

THanks Guys,
just called verizon and asked them what speed I was running and they changed my cost from 29.99 down to 15.99 ... She was very nice and it only took 2 min to save cash every month!
