Interesting to note that Mr. Weigel, according to the article, actually said that Verizon could provide 45Mb to any school, hospital, or industrial park in its service area. He never made any mention of residences.

LOL... Verizon can barely provide quality voice service (Voice lines get me 20K or so on dialup to remote sites) to industrial areas. Forget about DSL as well. I can't believe people bought that line.

| Go to the Philadelphia Inquirer site and read what the man said.
Just to make it easy for you, here is the link:

Aw...what the heck. Here is the actual text found on the Philadelphia Inquirer site:
"Ronald F. Weigel, director of government relations for Verizon's Pennsylvania division, said the company could provide any school, hospital or industrial park in its service area a 45 Mbps connection - as long as the customer can afford it.
"I don't care if they're in Altoona or Philadelphia, we're prepared to offer it," Weigel said."
Notice the complete lack of the word 'residence' in that entire block of quoted text.

| That might be in Pennsylvania, however, in Florida, Verizon will be happy to provide a T-3 or fractional line to whomever has the money to pay for it. I have a SOHO computer consulting business and Verizon wanted $5400/mont6h for 6Mbs and a bit over $7000 for 9Mbs. Needless to say, that was just a bit over budget.  I can't imagine What a full T-3 or DS-3 line would cost.

I am sure it is the same in PA. My original point was that the person who wrote the article for www.dslreports.com misquoted the Inquirer article.
