good news for verizon dsl users!

Now if you sign up for a one year commitment or verizon freedom you can get 3/768 for $29.95 a month. Pretty damn sweet. Hehe 350KBs tranfer here I come! Too bad though the upload on my line is only gonna be at 400Kbs god damnit. I'll have to look into what's causing that.

Same here(well not that much but we are also getting rapped on cable tv). The only other available broadband around is Sprint DSL which charges $60 for 1.5mbit service.

I've already had the 3/768 plan for the past 6 months but have been paying $44.95 a month. Just called Verizon today and signed up for the $29.95 plan. This is a awesome deal especially with Verizon's unlimited newsgroup access.

I bet their system will not be able to handle the upgrade. We'll probably see big slowdown over the next few weeks. Hell verizon couldn't even handle a single state(NY) upgrade before without serious problems.

Well to be fair comcast is 43$, if you are already using cable. And they keep increasing their speed, 4/384 rules!

DO NOT BELIEVE IT until you actually are getting it. It's all marketing. Truth is, if you are further than 12000ft away from your CO, your speed will remain the slower speed despite what you sign up for. BUT THEY WILL NOT TELL YOU THAT voluntarily. It happened to me. It is a technical limit, there's nothing you can do about it but wait for FIOS. Fiber doesn't have the same distance limitations. Coming here within 6 months. :thumbsup:

NOW HERE'S THE CATCH. that price for that speed is only available in NY, HOWEVER, ever since December DSL has been going 56K speed in NYC until like 1 am. Dont waste your money. Verizon is doing nothing about it.

They have been fine since I signed up March 8. Long Island...

If the special is for all of NY and people all over are signing up, why is only NYC getting screwed ?

If you do illegal things online at all, it's best to avoid. ^^
