Post by computerspace »

I am seriously considering Verizon's 7.1 MBPS dsl package. I currently use the 1.5, and am happy, but I plan on adding a lot more to the network, and want the speed. Anyone have this, and does it work, or not?

Where are you?

If you are in a Verizon area where you can get Optimum Online cable, you'll get similar speeds for $30/mo.

That may not be true for all areas.

I don't mean for this to come out wrong, but 3 days 4 posts an nobody actually answered my question?! I am going with Verizon Power package 7.1, if anyone has experience with it, please say so. I place the order April 16th, right now without any guidance. I just wanted known examples of it working, or not.
