We don't get the same 50Mb pricing as the east coast does and DSLx's TOS/AUP is very lax.
This may also bring pressure on other major incumbents to offer line sharing agreements. |

Re: Good job!
Yeah - I'd be getting standalone DSL-Extreme Uverse if it was offered at a decent price.
AT&T likes to bundle.
Interesting seeing FiOS with 20Mbps uploads. |

| This is awesome
Since it's not FiOS direct from Verizon, no billing issues. Since it is FiOS indirect from Verizon, you get all that lovely speed. Since it's $100/month, I'd probably get the service if I lived in an area that had it. Even if said area had OOL Ultra...I 3 20 Mbps up. |

| Their package descriptions are inconsistant..
I have FIOS currently, out of curiousity to compare pricing I ran my phone/address through their system to see what I qualified for..
Below is a copy and paste, they state 50/50 in the description, but further down they show 50/20.. which is it....
Either way, I wonder if I could use them for my ISP and still use FIOS TV (I am already about to kill the phone line)
Extreme: Prices Starting at $99.95/mo - Download Speeds up to 50000Kbps
This package has an upload speed of 50.0Mbps! This is our fastest package available! 50Mbps of download means that you can do virtually anything online and with the included upload you can also host anything you'd like.
Download/Upload Contract Connection Activation Price Order This
50000/20000Kbps 12 Month DHCP - 1 IP(s) FREE $99.95/mo |

Washington, DC | They must have a good working relationship with Verizon
I thought that everyone who had Verizon-resold DSL eventually lost connectivity with neither Verizon or the reseller able to fix it. Must have just been me. And yet Verizon-only DSL always seems to be well maintained. |

"Perhaps its time for DSL Extreme to change their name to something a little less, oh, coppery?"
Customer's wouldn't care if it was called Spaghetti Extreme as long as they could get 50Mbps for 99$.

They are far from being the "first"
www.rapidsys.com has been a reseller for at least two years on the FIOS, much longer on the DSL side |

It could be named kakarot and I wouldn't care, if I could get it. |

| Will have to wait...
I am still locked into my FIOS contract, so switching would give me termination fees anyway. No deal!
Still, looking at the numbers, my current FIOS package deals are better. For example I pay less for 20/5 than the DSL extreme 10/2 package. The DSLextreme offers seems to be mostly geared to "internet only" users in FIOS territory.
Anyone know what kind of router they provide? Same as Verizon? |

Re: Not the first, by a long shot
I do believe they are the FIRST to resell service across all Verizon FiOS areas. Rapidsys only offers service in Florida which is worthless to the rest of us. |

Re: Their package descriptions are inconsistant..
You are better off bundling direct from Verizon.
FiOS 20MB/5MB Internet + FiOS TV Extreme HD = $79.99 a month + set top boxes/DVR.
Extreme HD standalone starts at $57.99 + set top boxes/DVR. |
