The price is comparable to DSL. As others have said they have not got it in every area yet. I heard that they were not going to do any Cape towns, but that is just a rumor. available in Marshfield, Braintree, Abington, Rockland, Parts of Hanover on the South Shore. I think Wareham as well.

I am getting the employee plan, but Verizon Local , and unlimited domestic long distance for like 30 bucks a month, and another 34 for 15meg computer ain't too shabby. I can't wait for the Video, say bye-bye comcast....

You need a new hard drive methinks or daily maintenance.... I have had Commiecaster for years now and it works great..... fast then faster....do you do daily cleaning and programmed scans etc. etc.?

Good health and family

Question

Bill.. what has the big V got against the cape, anyway?.. we barely get a decent phone signal.. lines are antique, and patches on patches.. almost at the level of a string between two dixie cups, as far as signal.. we are overdue Big Time, for a full upgrade of lines.. and service down here... always seem to be on the end of the line, with the big V....

Karl I hope it comes to your area soon. I converted a while back and It is great. I use them for Cable, Land line, Internet and wireless. All on one bill and the service beats the hell out of RCN. Saved a good bit of $ also.

The internet really is fast. TS -- use Firefox, the FIOS is so fast Internet explorer has trouble keeping up. Firefox also has some cool features also.
