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.

i now subscribe to "basic" cable TV service -- the one they don't really want you to subscribe to. it just carries the broadcast channels and public access, no SciFi, no Nick, no MTV, no CNN. it's about $10/month, and provides a $15/month discount off my cable modem bill. and no more interference during Buffy, Angel or Smallville. :)

oh -- comcast, btw. i'd like RCN's higher data rates but don't want to pay their higher fees. (last time i checked, anyway. that was a couple years ago!)
