Verizon DSL ??? anyone using it?
my DSL provider is currently twice the price of Verizon's DSL offering.
my free modem that came with my service may be crapping out and so i think i may jump ship .
has anyone successfully setup Verizon's DSL on a mac? OS9? OSX?
i remember hearing a few horrow stories years ago but i remeber hearing some successes as well.
watch my modem go down and i won't be able to check the responses. ugh.

However, their DSL offering works just fine with OS9 and OSX. And their basic offering which is supposed to be 768k downstream and 128k upstream ALWAYS bursts to 1500k downstream during large downloads. I'm quite satisfied.

I just love price competition.

my first time in on dial-up in years and i'm getting hammered with toll charges for the call.
i ordered the Verizon dsl today and since i'm also opting for one of their package plans - i will be getting the dsl for 29$ a month.
the package [i think it's called "freedom package"] is 59$ and gives you free unlimited free long distance and toll and local calls plus all the home bells and whistles for 59$.
the software package/kit comes as a self-install with the modem for mac is OSX 10.1 or better ONLY . i asked for a OS9 version too and they said it doesn't exist .
thanks for you help.
i may have more questions when the kit arrives.
[and the NYC Wi-Fi hotspots sounds great. i'm psyched about that.]
I need to do this soon. I think the special rate ends on the 20th. \
One time they attempted to charge me $8.00 for information calls I didn't make. I had to argue for 30 minutes to get that charge taken off.
Their DSL might be better...I have a couple of friends who use it and they have no complaints. However, if you do have a problem, know that they are a bad company to deal with :
