kudos:4 | I don't get it What is the big hullabaloo about? We only have one local phone company in Hawaii so what is so wrong about Verizon offering a package deal on DSL and requiring you to have local service with them? Who else would you have local service with? A cell phone doesn't work in condos here (unless you go out on the lanai to use it) and everyone (even those in houses where cell phones work) needs a land line anyhow for emergencies, etc. So since you are going to have a land line with your local provider what is the big deal?
I just wish I could get DSL. I live in the second largest city in the state and can't even get DSL and I'm told my area will be the last in the state to be upgraded and maybe never will. All this griping and lots of us can't even get DSL. I would jump at having the Verizon package...it is great! It would save me a big amount over Road Runner and I already have long distance as well as local with Verizon. With the Verizon package I would be able to also afford a cell phone which I cannot now. I want Verizon to have a monopoly on DSL otherwise it won't ever get to my area of town and I am not out in the sticks...I am just four miles from the office.
