Verizon DSL question

Post by CableDemon »

I currently have @home but thinking of switching to Verizon DSL, since I get 50% off.

I'm just curious to know what types of DSL I cant get through Verizon.

What there speeds are and etc...

Thanks

You can typically get most of their packages depending on your distance to their switch office. I would, however, recommend you stay with your current provider. Pricing won't compensate for the complaints of many that have the service. Take a look for yourself at dslreports.com.

Dont do it. Verizon has extremely slow speeds and is very bad with customer service. Like MosDef said go to http://www.dslreports.com and read all of the complaints people have about verizon.

Verizon was pretty bad.

I hear that they have improved.

That means they have probably progressed from abysmal to just really really bad.

Yeah. They've improved. I'll be honest.
