And the price is locked in for as long as you have the service.

quote:
New customers who sign a two-year agreement for Verizon's stand-alone, up to 7.1 Mbps/384 Kbps (kilobits per second) HSI service, based on digital subscriber line technology, can lock in a rate of $37.99 per month, which is guaranteed for as long as they keep the service.

They say 384 up in this press release but in my area it is 768 up.

The throttling and the 250GB cap have nothing to do with each other...
I never said they did, I was simply responding to a post saying stating that Comcast has limits and Verizon does not.

Except that Verizon provides unlimited use (at least there is zero enforcement), Comcast does not.

I've never been throttled by Comcast and I've never come close to the 250 GB cap, even when downloading a number of HD movies, so for me it's a non-issue.
The throttling and the 250GB cap have nothing to do with each other, one is to control peak usage in the afternoon, the other is to control P2Pers/bulk transfer/streaming blu-ray.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Not-a-good-deal-22416467 Wed, 20 May 2009 11:18:07 EDT Re: Not a good deal. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Not-a-good-deal-22415979 said by Bit:

Verizon has been very heavily advertising DSL in my area. Here's a tip Verizon, why don't you deploy FIOS in my area. Then maybe we'll talk.
