| Couldn't Sign Up
My mom was looking to dump AOL last year when Verizon DSL768 was available in the Tampa Bay area. She was put on a waiting list because there weren't any available connections in her area. It's more than one year later and they've NEVER contacted her about signing up. Are they still not available?? She signed up for RoadRunner Lite for $19

said by Fatal Vector :The ripoff begins. $20 for 768 DSL? Get real. Yeah because $25 dial up is such a great deal or better yet bargain basement $10 dial up.
Just because it's not a great deal for you doesn't mean its not a good deal for others.

Yea, and Road Runner Lite is a bargain at 384/128. And that goes from $19 promotion to $30. |

Louisville, KY | is this really a "hike"?
come on...$4.99 more a month hardly constitues a "hike"...isn't it more like an "increase" or "adjustment"?
A "hike" would be more like $20/month. |

| Its a hike, whether its slow or instant.
They hiked it so that people would see the price tiers they have then move to the middle rung to get a better "deal".
Either way I think if you go with Verizon you're getting in bed with the devil.
I'll stick to my Embarq DSL thanks. I like the service I receive. The cost isn't much of an issue to me. Seeing as its a better deal than Adephia is willing to give. Take off your restrictions on what I can do with *my* connection and I might consider Adelphia. Not being able to run a server? Please. I like my dedicated line. |

Re: And so.
Just be thankfull that they can get broadband for $20. The only broadband I can get right now is a Verizon Wireless Aircard, that maxes out at 200kb and averages just over 100 for $60/month and a 2 yr service agreement |

Its encouragement to go cable, for 5-$10 more you can get cable which can be between 3-10Meg down. |

Re: And so.
Maybe for you but for me the $20 is a small price to pay compared to other options in my area.
Thats about as real as it gets.

Boston, MA | That's about $25 after taxes and fees
Covad DSL charges only the advertised amount, currently $24.95 for 1.5/128 DSL.
But Verizon keeps adding taxes and fees to the monthly amount, so when they advertise $20, it's really $25. |

Wait until Verizon gets their state/nationwide franchises. Do you have any idea what types of games they will start to play with prices and net neutrality. Who will be your savior then?
