Verizon allowing lost phone customers to stay online
Consumers in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, and residents of 10 other states, may keep their high-speed Internet service for $34.95 a month.

Bloomberg News
Verizon Communications Inc., the biggest U.S. local-telephone company, is trying to retain customers in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, plus 10 other states, by allowing some of them to keep high-speed Internet service when they cut their phone lines and go wireless.
For the first time, Verizon customers in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maine, New Hampshire, Delaware, Maryland and Vermont who are moving their local-phone numbers to wireless devices can keep their high-speed Internet service, known as DSL or digital subscriber line, spokeswoman Briana Gowing said.
The offer is a departure for Verizon, which has sold its Internet access in a bundle to encourage customers to buy more services. New York-based Verizon, which has about 2.7 million DSL subscribers, has said it needs 4.3 million to make the business profitable. Competition is increasing as Comcast Corp. and other cable providers roll out digital phone service.
"We do believe standalone DSL is the right move for Verizon and the rest of the Bells," UBS Securities analyst John Hodulik wrote to clients, speaking of the companies remaining after the breakup of the Bell system. He rates Verizon shares "neutral 1."
Customers don't have to switch their numbers to Verizon wireless products, Gowing said. The standalone product is $34.95 a month.
"This for us is really about keeping that broadband relationship with the customer," spokeswoman Bobbi Henson said.
Shares of Verizon rose 68 cents to $35.08 yesterday in New York Stock Exchange composite trading.
Verizon, which sells local-phone service in 29 states and Washington D.C., hopes to make a broader offer of so-called naked DSL, Gowing said.
Right now, only local-phone customers in the 12 states can take advantage of Verizon's standalone service.
Verizon won't say how many customers are switching their local numbers to mobile phones or how many are buying the standalone Internet service.
The company's local lines fell 4.3 percent to 55 million in the first quarter. |

| Those terms are still sketcky. How many people do you know whoa re going to be getting a cell phone for the first time? Not very many people are eligable for this deal as it stands, even if you are allowed to migrate to any carrier you wish.
They need to remove the wireless migration rule then it will take off.

Elmhurst, NY | Okay I don't have any service with verizon but they are the telco for my area in Queens, NYC. Elmhurst is my town.
I have my local line with MCI because they offered cheap 19.99 for free local and features. So can I get DSL with Verizon with my current situation.
I am really desperate because I am tired of spending more money on cable service with earthlink and road runner and rcn.
I would really like to know.

You would have to get yourself a cell phone, and if you haevnt done it by now, then my guess is you dont really want it:p.
But you have to sign up for cell service and migrate that phone number from your land line to the wireless. I dont know how they are about migrating it to Vongae, which is what most people want to do anyways.
