I've had DSL, approx 7 years now, I've been very pleased. There were minor nuisances of not having svc (like when I moved) but they ended quick enough. My line is very consistant, and RARELY gives me any problems.
I recently decided to make the change from 3.0 to 7.1. I'm pleasantly impressed by the consistant speeds I get. I'm about 6400ft from the co now, and the only thing that bothers me is that fastpath won't work on this line any longer. When I had 3.0, it was working great, with pings in the low teens. However, after the upgrade to 7.1 and the request for fast path, the connection was mostly unusable at times, and often not usable at all. A change back to interleave fixed those issues and I now enjoy a rock solid 6.4Mbps/720kbps connection.
Tech support can be brutal at times. It's always advisable to get as far away from the first one that answers as you can. Level 1 tech support leaves alot to be desired. If you are reading this, and need ANY assistance with your VZ DSL svc, i would HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you visit the Verizon Direct forum on this site. The people that answer your posts are very friendly, knowledgable, and always eager to help. I can NOT say the same for tech support via the 800#.
I'm FIOS capable where I live, however being in the city of Buffalo, with no franchise in place, I'm restricted to FIOS data only at this point. (I will probably NEVER give up my copper phone line).
Well, as of 6/26/09 i've taken the FIOS plunge for my internet... 20/5 package.... DSL, You served me GREAT over the past years, but it's time for the next gen...

Rego Park, NY | Re: Cost for 7.1M It's $39.99 with voice service, or $42.99 stand-alone. Both options require you to sign up for at least a year to get those prices.
