HAha not worth it...that's nearly 50 dollars including the stupid ad on fees. I don't think I should pay an extra 200 dollars a year for something they could give me for nearly free. They started what they can't finish. Matter of fact for the same price the cable companies are offering much faster speeds. Verizon is not really a good deal anymore. |

If you are in MD, no cable company offers faster speeds than that. Comcast has 256/3.0 and comcast completly smokes them on the upload.

| Yup I'm stuck with adelphia as my only other option and they are truly awful. Guess we're back where we started with verizon..overpriced for what you get, slower than the competition. Like when they wanted 50 bucks a month for 768/128 while everyone else was cruising along at faster speeds for the same price. No to mention they should not be able to not include the ad-on fee in the advertising.  |

Oh crap slap me upside my head, I forgot about adelphia lol. I forgot they still existed, they will probabaly eventually become comcast. But still man 39.99 for that service is a good deal.

however at my 1.5/384 i am getting 380 up and 1.7 down. Then with adelphia i got 100 up and 3 down. i hae a computer consulting and web design company..upload is critical for me..verizon has it at a lower price than adelphia.
comcast offers 3.384 max in baltimore. Verizon is the better value IMO..

Okay:
a) Comcast has 3mbit download, 256kbit upload. for 42.95/mo.
b) Verizon has 3mbit download, 768kbit upload for 39.99/mo (bundled because i have long distance. I could remove the long distance and pay more.) Verizon also has a $2 FUSF fee. This makes verizon the same price as comcast.
Verizon has MSN premium, a bigger mailbox, the best newsgroup service anywhere.
Comcast has...a lame 10 mb mailbox, no newsgroups.
Before you argue that i have to have verizon phone service...if you remove your cable TV from your cable service, your internet will cost you $57.95/mo for 3/256. If i remove my phone service (downgrade to just a 'lifeline') my dsl will cost me 44.95/mo + $7 for the lifeline, + taxes, which brings me to $55/mo.
The logical choice is verizon. |
