You have got to be joking. If true, I will be seriously pissed off. Do you have a link to any VZ admission of the reversal? You don't say how you heard or know of the change. | |

| Interesting, here I am searching around for possible details on stacking a cable connection and a new verizon dsl connection to juice up my network and I stumble on to this. 3mbps with a 768 upload speed. Well, I just bought a $34.95 plan that is 1.5 x 768 . Can't wait to see what my speed really is. I have a feeling the upload speed won't surpasse 368. | |

@crm.ny | Re: has anyone bought & received standalone? Just got off the phone with verizon.... The sales rep told me the wrong thing. 1.5 down and 368 up was what I bought despite me telling her flat out that I wouldn't keep the service if the upload wasn't 768. So, I upgraded to the 3.0. | |

| When are we going to hear something new? Is this article supposed to be news?
Verizon, Verizon, Verizon..........all i hear is that verizon is not doing much, so many articles about verizon upgrading the service and yet they don't actually do anything.
why not save us the time until verizon makes something official for a change and then tell us about it. | |

This is the first website on the Internet to report Verizon customers are getting higher DSL speeds this week, and you're whining about them (and the users) breaking a story?
Verizon gets slammed (and rightly so) because they over-emphasize fiber deployments for regulatory effect. | |

| Re: When are we going to hear something new? Forget this upgrade, wait until FIOS comes to NYC. Fiber Optic terminations in your apartment/house. Bringing dialtone, broadband and digital TV. The DL speeds on Fios are 5.o, 10.0 and even T1 speeds for under $60 a MONTH!!!!
This is in place across various parts of the country and is about to be deployed in NYC.
In case I sound like a salesman, yes, I work for them. Regardless, we are working up the legal specs now for risers etc in NY and when it comes in, it will be HUGE. | |

| Re: When are we going to hear something new? Maybe you should read the news about fiber and how it is deployed in keller,tx so they did something there . you might also wanna read the forums about how people already got the upgrade so before you post you should read the oh so many articles about verizon | |

it's still not available every where......good piece of news?....Bull
It's just like waiting for Bush to be out of office and then when elections come in one split second he mite still be there after.......call me when the service is offered in more than one area please! | |

| Re: When are we going to hear something new? This sounds like another COX thing ,maybe verizon wasn't finished upgrading you got to give it time just like how everyone has to give fiber time.And everyone in CA usually just goes with a verizon reseller for it.East coast was probably most likely to get the upgrade first | |

| no Considering freedom is 50 bucks a month(unlimted local and long distance) it's still a rip. That would make it 90 bucks a month for phone and dsl. No thanks.
If you consider your regular phone bill is 30 a month, an extra 20 does not offset the discount. So it's a big profit either way. Real smart... | |

| 3 meg upgrade and price Just got off the phone and here's how it goes. If you have the Freedom package which starts at around 53 bucks you can get the 3 meg dsl for $39.95 or, $44.95 without the Freedom package. I have local, long distance and cell service from Verizon plus the dsl at 1.5/384 but.... unless I spring for the higher priced phone service I can't get the $5 break on the 3 meg upgrade. To the Verizon bean counters I say "YOU BLOW". The bitch of it is my dsl line works soooooooo much better than the Comcrap I had before that I'll pay the extra $5 screaming all the way.
PS. The 11k LL is the limit. Sorry to you folks with the long lines. | |

| Not bad... but... so? I already get 5Mbs down and 768kbs up... and the DSL sucked here because I was too far from the CO. I have a fiber node in my neighborhood, like all upgraded cable customers do.
It's like the pinto put a turbo charger on but it still can't beat the vette. | |

| Automatic upgrade, or new equipment required? I'm running 1.5/384 for 29.95 a month.
Is this an automatic(as in, call up, and wait a few days) thing, or do you have to recieve a new modem, quick start kit, etc?
I don't feel like paying for shipping to return this modem, and wait a week or two to recieve another. Also, does this modify the one year service agreement, sort of modifying teh fine rpint to say you have 3mbps, or is a whole new service plan?
And do I get to keep my email and msn premium? 
Details.. details. | |
