Your location may vary....

they come with FREE/Unlimited USENET access..... no need for P2P file sharing with that.

If you don't know what it is and what you can get out of it, you don't need it.

for the first 3 months, verizon offers its service discounted at $29.99 along with free equipment and installation. about the news servers, what kind of download speeds to you get from them and what kind of retention do they have?

I recently got it not too long ago - ended up being $29.95 a month since we also signed up for another package with them

Speed tests I get about 1250/138. I switched over from 56K so if it's slow, I sure as hell can't tell Average download speed is like 150kb/s. It's great, have yet to have an outage.

Like cell phone, Radio, Regular phone, any service...It's all where you are and how well the local treats you.

I have VerisonDSL for 29/month because it's part of my "Variations" plan. No issues with it, even though the upload seems a bit anemic.
