In August 2003 DSL became available in my small town finally! I went with the first available provider (not Verizon) at the time and used them for about 14 months. They were a local company and the service was rock solid. They could not compete with the pricing from Verizon, especially when you include the phone service & long distance package deals.
On Nov 8, 2004 I upgraded from 1.5mb to 3mb DSL, switching from the local vendor to Verizon.
I'm happy with my switch so far. Im saving money and have faster service. I tried my best to stay with my old local DSL provider but they just could not compete with the price. At this point Im happy I switched.
Update: March 31, 2009 - I called Verizon yesterday to ask about 7mb DSL. It is available in my area and they said they'd give it to me for no extra cost. I said go for it.
Update: September 2009 - turned out the 7mb DSL was not the same price and when I called back they refused to give me what they originally offered me. Since April I have had to call back to get several products removed that were "crammed" on my bill. They kept putting things on my bill that I did not ask for. I guess all those Comcast flyers in the mail finally got me to think about them. On Sept 19th I switch my voice and internet over to Comcast. Good Bye Verizon. One less voice AND DSL customer on their books. I guess VZ was hurting for cash and figured they can throw some charges on people's bills and they won't notice it. I guess this makes VZ a couple extra million bucks a month. Well not this customer.
