hey i got a new place...and wanna get dsl. the new place is about 1.5 mi away from where i previously lived where i had verizon dsl. i just got a phone line hooked up last week and i've checked for dsl availability on the dell broadband sit and verizon's site...but both say i cant get Verizon dsl (only earthlink is offered, which is more expensive). however, there are other ppl in my same building who can get verizon dsl. i also asked a verizon technician once when i saw him working in the building whether dsl was available and he told me it was. the new place is also closer to the new telco, which makes it hard to believe that i cant get verizon dsl (esp. since they're my local phone provider too). is there some type of lag time associated since this is a new line?
btw if i wanted get cable internet service (i think the carrier is optimum online/cablevision)...would i have to have (and if not, pay) for basic cable? or can i do it w/o having to get the minimum of basic cable?
