| Re: ABOUT TIME! said by Derch  :I doubt SBC will do it, they like money to much. I've heard of addictions to this and that, But It's the first time I've ever heard of money being addictive, But Verizon must feel they can stand It, Maybe the NE is a big experiment? So who knows, Maybe Verizon will let everyone who want to drop their voice service and keep their DSL, Me I have DSL, But I'll keep mine as I don't have any VoIP type equipment nor a cell phone yet. Besides It's cheaper for Me as My combined Phone and DSL bill rarely exceeds $50.00 per month, Last month It was $44.66.

@verizon.net | All well and good but maybe they should concentrate on keeping their name servers for Boston, Cambridge and Somerville working. Everyone I know has had to switch to Speakeasy since the Verizon DNS servers time-out 75% of the time. | |

| I have had Verizon DSL for about a year or so now. Up until lately, I haven't had any complaints about the service but lately it seems internet lookups are very slow. I suspected some DNS issue as sites that used to load very quickly are now taking a loooonnnnnggggggg time to load. Like Boston.com for instance. I notice as the home page tries to load that in the status bar, many site addresses which are not related to Boston.com come and go. Then, finally the page loads. Since I have made no changes and my system has plenty of RAM and the cache is clean, I know it is an issue with Verizon's network. What is "Speakeasy"? And, how do I make use of it? | |

It's the same old BS -- No Price Savings! My post was in jest. I sarcastically meant that you would end up paying MORE for a naked line then if you just has basic service. In theory, naked DSL will come with little or no surcharge. Covad et al already do this for an additional $5 per month which likely pays for the copper infrastructure between you and the CO. Your $12/month basic phone service is NOT naked DSL. It's just was the minimum you could get away with.

I'm paying about 70.00 each month (phone + verizon). The whole idea behind naked dsl, was so I could get VoIp. Also price was a very big key to why I wanted naked DSL. 29.95 / 39.95 is good for dsl naked. Just because I do not op for one service, shouldn't mean I have to pay more.
If this is the case, I may have found the first thing I could disagree and not like about Verizon.

| Look out Comcast! I'm no Verizon fan (actually, I think they're the devil, LOL) but if they offer naked DSL for $30/MO I may have to jump all over that. Comcast is REALLY getting on my nerves with their price increases. I would just as soon have direct TV and DSL, and save, oh, $25/mo. or so to get more channels I want to see.
If (and that's a large IF) this is as good as it sounds, Verizon may have a winner on it's hands. | |
