I currently have Verizon DSL (it sucks) IT is suppose to be around 768 kbp/s, but I only get about 730. I go to the Verizon website, type in my phone number, and they say I can't get DSL. I also wanted to switch to Earthlink, who offer higher speeds, but they say I can't get DSL, but I have it from Verizon and Earthlink uses Verizon's lines. What gives? Doo any of you have any idea?

If you're far enough away that the sites are saying you can have it and you get 730, thats pretty good. You shold probably call them up and check to make sure its not an error on the site though.
