Verizon DSL deal

[allli.livejournal.com]

so i went to the verizon page to find out about fixing my cell, and found a really sweet deal for DSL service. they're offering DSL for 29.95/month, with the first month free (including a DSL modem and self-install kit). that's just 5 more than i'm paying for 'accelerated' dialup. or 10 more than i could be paying for a probably-better dialup ISP. AND, deal upon deals, they are now offering a 99.95 Linksys wireless router with a full 99.95 mail-in rebate. i checked out the service agreement and tried to poke around for hidden charges, but besides a 12.95 shipping fee for the modem etc., didn't find nothin'. not even shipping for the router.

so go to it, if you haven't already. you have to already have home verizon residential service.

sorry for the gushing endorsement. i'm just happy to consider fast affordable wireless access.

years ago, i had Verizon DSL. it had very regular service problems. finally i cancelled it and got speakeasy ... which had even worse problems. after months of outages and problems they couldn't resolve, i finally cancelled, paid my cancellation fee, and got a cable modem. i've been happy with it for ... four or five years now. same IP address, even.

the epilogue to Verizon? they kept billing me. for three years. sent me to collections. for three years of service not delivered. they finally gave up and went away, and my credit record seems to be mysteriously intact.

fuck verizon.
